Pasquaniel isn’t a name you hear every day. In fact, it’s not one you’ll find in a baby book or a trending handle. But that’s exactly why I’ve chosen to keep it, carry it, and build something meaningful under it.

​

The name was originally inspired by a character from the 1978 Western miniseries Centennial. My dad heard the name "Pasquinel" and gave it a twist — spelling it with a Spanish flair. And from the start, my entire family called me Pasquaniel. It wasn’t until middle school that I realized my legal first name was actually Jason. But by then, the name Pasquaniel had already shaped my identity.

​

What started as a unique name passed down from a TV show became something more — something I grew into.

The Deeper Meaning

​

Over time, I learned that the root of my name — Pasqu- — connects to names like Pasquale, Pascal, and Pascual, all of which trace back to the Latin word Pascha, meaning Passover. In Hebrew, that word is Pesach.

​

It’s the language of redemption. Of being brought out. Of crossing over.

And that’s what my life has come to be about — not chasing hype or worldly approval, but moving from stuck to started, by faith. My name carries that journey now — the shift from pressure to peace, from striving to surrender, from survival to purpose.

​

Some Names Are Given. Others Are Grown Into.

Pasquaniel — a name born from a Western, shaped by a journey, and rooted in redemption.

​

I help people move from stuck to started — by faith, not hype. I create for those stepping into purpose — one moment at a time.

The name might not be familiar. But my prayer is that the message tied to it is unforgettable.

​

Because when you move by faith… and build with truth… you don’t just create something that works.

​

You create something that lasts.
