Pasqualino in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 162 people with the first name Pasqualino, which placed it at #43,512 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Pasqualino
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Pasqualino is White at 93.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (3.7%) and Black (1.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Pasqualino described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Pasqualino at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Pasqualino
The name Pasqualino is an Italian diminutive of the name Pasquale, which is derived from the Latin name Paschalis, meaning "relating to Easter or the Passover." The name has its roots in the ancient Roman and early Christian eras, with its origins stretching back to the 3rd century AD.
Pasquale was initially a surname given to those born or baptized during the Easter season, which was celebrated by early Christians as a commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The name became widespread across the Roman Empire and later in Italy, where it evolved into the diminutive form, Pasqualino.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Pasqualino can be found in the 13th century, when Pasqualino da Viterbo, an Italian philosopher and theologian, lived from around 1230 to 1300. He was known for his work on metaphysics and natural philosophy, and his writings had a significant influence on scholastic thought during the Middle Ages.
In the 15th century, Pasqualino da Venezia, an Italian painter and woodcarver, was active in Venice, Italy. He is credited with creating several altarpieces and wooden sculptures that adorned churches and cathedrals throughout the region, showcasing his artistic talent and contribution to the Renaissance art movement.
The name also appears in religious texts, as Saint Pasqualino was a 16th-century Italian Franciscan friar and mystic who lived from 1542 to 1592. He was known for his pious life and devotion to the Virgin Mary, and his writings on spiritual matters were highly regarded during his lifetime.
In the realm of literature, Pasqualino Pasqualini was a 17th-century Italian writer and poet who lived from 1607 to 1679. He was celebrated for his poetic works, which often explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition, and his contributions to the Italian literary tradition.
Another notable figure was Pasqualino Guglielmo, an Italian composer and musician who lived during the 18th century, from 1688 to 1763. He was renowned for his compositions for the violin and his contributions to the development of the Neapolitan school of violin playing, which had a lasting impact on the musical traditions of Italy and beyond.

FAQ
Pasqualino: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Pasqualino?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 21 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Pasqualino going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 16,321,635 US residents.
Is Pasqualino a common name?
We classify Pasqualino as "Very Rare". It ranks above 40.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 29 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Pasqualino most popular?
The single biggest year for Pasqualino was 1924, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Pasqualino is about 54 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Pasqualino in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 162 people with the name Pasqualino, or 0.05 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #43,512 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Pasqualino in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Pasqualino?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Pasqualino appears almost entirely male. Of the 158 people counted with this name, 100.0% were male and only a very small share were female. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Pasqualino?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Pasqualino is White at 93.8%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (3.7%) and Black (1.2%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Pasqualino most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Pasqualino in the 2020 Census, accounting for 93.8% (152 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Pasqualino in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Pasqualino a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Pasqualino in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Pasqualino still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Pasqualino in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Pasqualino can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
