The name Pascall was brought to
England in the wave of migration that followed the
Norman Conquest of 1066. The Pascall family lived in
Essex. The name, however, is a reference to
Pasci, in Eure,
Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the
Norman Conquest of
England in 1066.
Early Origins of the Pascall family
The surname Pascall was first found in
Essex but the family were originally from Pasci in Eure,
Normandy and were granted lands in
Essex by Henry, Duke of
Normandy through Robert, Earl of Leicester, at Much and Great Baddow. While the surname was firmly established in this are for many years, searching various rolls for the surname revealed a John Pascal in the Assize Rolls of
Warwickshire in 1221, and a William Pascale in 1275 in the
Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire.

Pascall Spelling Variations
Norman surnames are characterized by a multitude of
spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to
England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Pascall, Paschall, Pascale, Pascal, Paschal, Pascoll and many more.

Migration of the Pascall family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlantic. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Pascall or a variant listed above:
