Pasko is a South Slavic form within the Paschal/Pascal name family, ultimately from Latin Paschalis, derived from Pascha “Passover/Easter” (via Greek from Aramaic/Hebrew Pesach). In Christian Europe it signified “of the Paschal feast,” giving the familiar sense “born at Easter” or “Easter child.”

Usage clusters along the Adriatic and western Balkans, especially in Croatian and Montenegrin communities, where the spelling Paško (with š) is standard; Pasko appears where diacritics are omitted. Regional variants include Paškal and Paskal, with wider cognates Pascal (French), Pasquale (Italian), Pascual (Spanish), Pascoal (Portuguese), Pascoe (Cornish), Maltese Pasku, and Albanian Pashko. Diminutives and pet forms often overlap with the base name in everyday use. The element is also seen as a surname in East Slavic areas (e.g., Пасько/Pasko), though given-name usage there is uncommon, tying the name’s identity most strongly to Easter-linked naming traditions around the Adriatic.
