Pasco is a Cornish form of the name Pascal that derives from the Latin paschalis or pashalis, which means "relating to Easter" from Latin Pascha ("Passover", i.e. the Easter Passover). Pascal was introduced into England, as a personal and family name, by the Norman knights after the Conquest started in 1066. Alternative spellings are: Pascoe, Pascow, Pascho.
