Pascoe is a Cornish pet form of the name Pascal, introduced by the Norman knights into England after the Conquest started in 1066, and derives from the Latin paschalis, which means "relating to Easter" from Latin Pascha ("Easter"). Alternative spellings are Pasco, Pascow and Pascho. Pascoe is the most common Cornish name. [1]

"Pascoe" is also a Russian, Ukrainian and Macedonian name as it is the modern adaptation of the Slavic name "Pasko" (Macedonian: Паско; Russian or Ukrainian: Пасько) due to 18th and 19th century migration from Eastern Europe, creating the alternative Romanised spelling.

Pasco is found as surname in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, United States and France. Pasco is also a rare Italian surname found in Northern Italy: Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto and Tuscany. [2] Both the Italian and the English surnames share the same Latin root and derive from the Latin word Pascha.
