Origin
Meaning and origin of Pasqualicchio
The surname Pasqualicchio has its origins in Italy, particularly in the southern regions of Campania and Calabria. It is believed to have emerged during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century.
The name Pasqualicchio is derived from the Italian name Pasquale, which itself comes from the Latin word "Paschalis," meaning "relating to Easter" or "associated with the Paschal feast." The suffix "-icchio" is a diminutive form, suggesting a familial or affectionate variation of the original name.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Pasqualicchio can be found in the historical records of the town of Bagnara Calabra, a coastal municipality in the province of Reggio Calabria, dating back to the late 15th century. This could suggest that the name originated in this region or nearby areas.
In the 16th century, a notable figure bearing the name Pasqualicchio was Giovanni Pasqualicchio, a scholar and philosopher from the town of Sorrento in Campania. He was known for his contributions to the study of classical literature and his writings on Aristotelian philosophy.
During the 17th century, the name Pasqualicchio appeared in various ecclesiastical records, particularly in the region of Campania. One such record mentions a Padre Francesco Pasqualicchio, a Franciscan friar who served in the town of Vico Equense in the province of Naples.
In the 18th century, a prominent figure with the surname Pasqualicchio was Antonio Pasqualicchio, a lawyer and judge from the town of Salerno. He gained recognition for his expertise in civil law and his role in shaping legal practices in the Kingdom of Naples.
Another notable individual with the surname Pasqualicchio was Vincenzo Pasqualicchio, a 19th-century painter and artist from the town of Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples. His works, primarily depicting landscapes and coastal scenes, were exhibited in various galleries across Italy during his lifetime.
While the surname Pasqualicchio has its roots in southern Italy, it has since spread to other regions of the country and beyond, with descendants of these families settling in various parts of the world.

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 surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Pasqualicchio surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
