Etymology

The word 'Pascal' has its origins in the Old French name 'Paschal' or 'Pascale', which means 'of Easter'. It is derived from the Latin word 'Paschalis', which is related to the Hebrew word 'pesach', meaning 'Passover'. The name became associated with the programming language developed by Niklaus Wirth, who named it in honor of the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal.
