Pasco, of Latin origin, means 'passer' or 'sparrow'. This name was traditionally given to children born around Easter time, as the sparrow was a symbol of rebirth and resurrection during that period.
The name Pasco experienced significant fluctuations in popularity throughout the years, with a notable peak between 1916 and 1923, where it averaged around 20 births per year, reaching a high of 22 in 1923. However, after 1925, its popularity declined steadily, with fewer than 15 births per year on average from then on. The name reached its lowest point between 1971 and 1973, with only 5 or 6 births recorded each year. Over the entire period, a total of 432 babies were named Pasco.
