Pascale's Notebook puts her name front and center, written in flowing script across a soft watercolor apple blossom design.
Behind the Name calls Pascale the French feminine form of Pascal. Wikipedia explains that Pascale derives from the Latin paschalis, meaning “relating to Easter,” ultimately from pesach, the Hebrew name of the feast of Passover. It describes Pascale as a common Francophone given name. So a Pascale carries a spring name linked to Easter and Passover.
Behind the Name’s family tree for Pascale lists the diminutives Pascaline in French and Pasqualina in Italian, and the related forms Pasqua in Italian and Pascuala in Spanish. The masculine forms include Pascal, Pasquale, Paschal and Pascual. Pascale is already a graceful name, and Pascaline is a sweet longer version.
Wikipedia’s list of Pascales includes Pascale Ogier, a French actress, Pascale Petit, born in 1938, a French actress, and a different Pascale Petit, born in 1953, a French poet. It also names Pascale Ferran, a French film director, Pascale Cossart, a French bacteriologist, and Pascale Sablan, an African-American architect.
Pascale never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s default chart is Chile, where it ranked 47th in 2013 and 2014 and last ranked 92nd in 2020. In France it last ranked 455th in 1989, and in Quebec it last ranked 90th in 1996.
Wikipedia’s page says Pascale is a common Francophone name and lists bearers from France, Canada, Switzerland and the United States. It also notes that the same spelling is an Italian form of the masculine name Pascal, and an Italian surname.
Any Pascale, of any age. The 6" x 9" size is roomy enough for proper writing and small enough for a handbag or school bag. With 160 plain lined pages there’s no fixed layout, so it can be a diary, a gratitude journal, a study notebook, a recipe book or a home for to-do lists. Notebooks tend to multiply in drawers, but one with her name on the front is instantly hers.
There’s something about seeing your own name in print. It makes a notebook feel like it belongs to you, which is a good reason to fill it. It also means Pascale can pick hers out of a pile in a second, at school, at work or on the kitchen counter.
