What is the meaning of the name Pascolina ?

Pascolina is Italian in Origin.

Pascolina is a rare Italian feminine name, likely a regional diminutive of Pasqualina, itself from Latin Paschalis (via Greek Pascha from Hebrew Pesach), meaning “of the Pasch” - Easter or Passover. In Catholic naming customs it marks girls born around Holy Week or named for the Paschal feast; the affectionate -ina suffix adds a tender, domestic tone, yielding the sense “little Easter one.”

Documented in 19th–early 20th‑century parish and civil records in southern Italy and among Italian emigrant communities, Pascolina now feels vintage but distinctive. Spelling and cognate variants include Pasqualina, Pascualina (Spanish), Pascalina/Pascaline (Italian/French), Pascuala and Pasqua, with related nicknames Lina, Nina, and Pasca. The uncommon Pascolina form may reflect dialectal simplification of “qu” to “c” in some regions. Meaning remains consistent across forms: a celebration of resurrection, renewal, and springtime.
