Easter
The word for
Easter in the Romance languages such as
French,
Italian,
Spanish and Portugese is derived from the Greek word for
Passover, which is
Pascha. In Germanic languages like
German,
Dutch, English and
Swedish, the word is derived from the Old English
Eastre, which is from
Eostur-monath. It was a month of the Germanic Year that some believe was named after a goddess in German paganism called Eastre.
Slavic languages (Russian, Czech, Polish and Serbian, for example) use the words for "Great Night" or "Great Day" to refer to Easter, while Celtic languages (ie: Gaulish, Gaelic, Welsh and Irish) use Latin for the basis of the words for Easter.
