"and in the [Scandinavian languages](/wiki/Scandinavian_languages "Scandinavian languages") Easter is known as _påske_ (Danish and Norwegian), _påsk_ (Swedish), _páskar_ (Icelandic) and _páskir_ (Faeroese). The name is derived directly from **Hebrew Pesach**.[\[6\]](#cite_note-5) The letter [å](/wiki/%C3%85 "Å") is pronounced /oː/, derived from an older aa, and an alternate spelling is _paaske_ or _paask_."

### English and German

Main article: [Ēostre](/wiki/%C4%92ostre "Ēostre") [![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Ostara_by_Johannes_Gehrts.jpg/170px-Ostara_by_Johannes_Gehrts.jpg)](/wiki/File:Ostara_by_Johannes_Gehrts.jpg) [![](//bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.19/common/images/magnify-clip.png)](/wiki/File:Ostara_by_Johannes_Gehrts.jpg "Enlarge") _Ostara_ (1884) by Johannes Gehrts

The modern English term _Easter_ developed from the [Old English](/wiki/Old_English_language "Old English language") word _Ēastre_ or _Ēostre_ (IPA: [\[ˈæːɑstre, ˈeːostre\]](/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA "Wikipedia:IPA")), which itself developed prior to 899. The name refers to _Eostur-monath_ (Old English "Ēostre month"), a month of the [Germanic calendar](/wiki/Germanic_calendar "Germanic calendar") attested by [Bede](/wiki/Bede "Bede"), who writes that the month is named after the [goddess](/wiki/Goddess "Goddess") [Ēostre](/wiki/%C4%92ostre "Ēostre") of [Anglo-Saxon paganism](/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_paganism "Anglo-Saxon paganism").[\[5\]](#cite_note-EASTETYM-4) Bede notes that _Ēostur-monath_ was the equivalent to the month of April, yet that feasts held in her honor during _Ēostur-monath_ had gone out of use by the time of his writing and had been replaced with the Christian custom of the "Paschal season".

Using comparative linguistic evidence from continental Germanic sources, the 19th century scholar [Jacob Grimm](/wiki/Jacob_Grimm "Jacob Grimm") proposed the existence of a cognate form of Ēostre among the [pre-Christian beliefs](/wiki/Germanic_paganism "Germanic paganism") of the [continental Germanic peoples](/wiki/Continental_Germanic_mythology "Continental Germanic mythology"), whose name he reconstructed as [_\*Ostara_](/wiki/%C4%92ostre "Ēostre").

Since Grimm's time, linguists have identified the goddess as a Germanic form of the [reconstructed](/wiki/Linguistic_reconstruction "Linguistic reconstruction") [Proto-Indo-European](/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_language "Proto-Indo-European language") goddess of the dawn, \*_[Hausos](/wiki/Hausos "Hausos")_ and theories connecting Ēostre with records of Germanic [Easter customs](/wiki/Easter_custom "Easter custom") (including hares and eggs) have been proposed.

Modern German features the cognate term _Ostern_, but otherwise, Germanic languages generally use the non-native term _pascha_ for the event (see below).

### Semitic, Romance, Celtic and other Germanic languages

**This section contains [Ethiopic text](/wiki/Ge%27ez_script "Ge'ez script").** Without proper [rendering support](/wiki/Help:Multilingual_support_(Ethiopic) "Help:Multilingual support (Ethiopic)"), you may see [question marks, boxes, or other symbols](/wiki/Mojibake "Mojibake") instead of Ethiopic characters.

The Greek word Πάσχα and hence the [Latin](/wiki/Latin_language "Latin language") form _Pascha_ is derived from Hebrew _Pesach_ (פֶּסַח) meaning the festival of [Passover](/wiki/Passover "Passover"). In Greek the word Ἀνάστασις _Anástasis_ (upstanding, up-rising, resurrection) is used also as an alternative.

Christians speaking [Arabic](/wiki/Arabic_language "Arabic language") or other [Semitic languages](/wiki/Semitic_languages "Semitic languages") generally use names [cognate](/wiki/Cognate "Cognate") to _Pesaḥ_. For instance, the second word of the Arabic name of the festival عيد الفصح _ʿĪd al-Fiṣḥ_, [\[ʕiːd ælfisˤħ\]](/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Arabic "Wikipedia:IPA for Arabic") has the [root](/wiki/Triliteral "Triliteral") F-Ṣ-Ḥ, which given the [sound laws](/wiki/Sound_law "Sound law") applicable to Arabic is cognate to Hebrew P-S-Ḥ, with "Ḥ" realized as /x/ in Modern Hebrew and /ħ/ in Arabic. Arabic also uses the term عيد القيامة _ʿĪd al-Qiyāmah_, [\[ʕiːd ælqiyæːmæh\]](/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Arabic "Wikipedia:IPA for Arabic"), meaning "festival of the resurrection", but this term is less common. In [Maltese](/wiki/Maltese_language "Maltese language") the word is _L-Għid_, where "Għ" stands for the common Semitic consonant [Ayin](/wiki/Ayin "Ayin"), and is directly derived from Arabic _ʿĪd_, which in both cases means "festival". In [Ge'ez](/wiki/Ge%27ez_language "Ge'ez language") and the modern [Ethiosemitic languages](/wiki/Ethiopian_Semitic_languages "Ethiopian Semitic languages") of [Ethiopia](/wiki/Ethiopia "Ethiopia") and [Eritrea](/wiki/Eritrea "Eritrea"), two forms exist: ፋሲካ ("Fasika", _fāsīkā_) from Greek _Pascha_, and ትንሣኤ ("Tensae", _tinśā'ē_), the latter from the Semitic root N-Ś-', meaning "to rise" (cf. Arabic _nasha'a_—ś merged with "sh" in Arabic and most non-[South Semitic languages](/wiki/South_Semitic_languages "South Semitic languages")).

[![](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/GrunewaldR.jpg/170px-GrunewaldR.jpg)](/wiki/File:GrunewaldR.jpg) [![](//bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.19/common/images/magnify-clip.png)](/wiki/File:GrunewaldR.jpg "Enlarge") _[Isenheim Altarpiece: The Resurrection](/wiki/Isenheim_Altarpiece "Isenheim Altarpiece")_ by [Matthias Grünewald](/wiki/Matthias_Gr%C3%BCnewald "Matthias Grünewald"), completed 1515

In all [Romance languages](/wiki/Romance_languages "Romance languages"), the name of the Easter festival is derived from the Latin _Pascha_. In Spanish, Easter is _Pascua_, in Italian and Catalan _Pasqua_, in Portuguese _Páscoa_ and in Romanian _Paşti_. In French, the name of Easter _Pâques_ also derives from the Latin word but the _s_ following the _a_ has been lost and the two letters have been transformed into a _â_ with a [circumflex](/wiki/Use_of_the_circumflex_in_French "Use of the circumflex in French") accent by [elision](/wiki/Elision "Elision"). Additionally in Romanian, the only Romance language of an [Eastern church](/wiki/Romanian_Orthodox_Church "Romanian Orthodox Church"), the word _Înviere_ (resurrection, cf. Greek Ἀνάστασις, [\[anástasis\]](/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Greek "Wikipedia:IPA for Greek")) is also used.

In all modern [Celtic languages](/wiki/Celtic_languages "Celtic languages") the term for Easter is derived from Latin. In [Brythonic languages](/wiki/Brythonic_languages "Brythonic languages") this has yielded Welsh _Pasg_, [Cornish](/wiki/Cornish_language "Cornish language") and [Breton](/wiki/Breton_language "Breton language") _Pask_. In [Goidelic languages](/wiki/Goidelic_languages "Goidelic languages") the word was borrowed before these languages had re-developed the /p/ sound and as a result the initial /p/ was replaced with /k/. This yielded Irish _Cáisc_, [Gaelic](/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic "Scottish Gaelic") _Càisg_ and [Manx](/wiki/Manx_language "Manx language") _Caisht_. These terms are normally used with the [definite article](/wiki/Definite_article "Definite article") in Goidelic languages, causing [lenition](/wiki/Lenition "Lenition") in all cases: _An Cháisc_, _A' Chàisg_ and _Y Chaisht_.

In [Dutch](/wiki/Dutch_language "Dutch language"), Easter is known as _[Pasen](//en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Pasen "wiktionary:Pasen")_ and in the [Scandinavian languages](/wiki/Scandinavian_languages "Scandinavian languages") Easter is known as _påske_ (Danish and Norwegian), _påsk_ (Swedish), _páskar_ (Icelandic) and _páskir_ (Faeroese). The name is derived directly from Hebrew Pesach.[\[6\]](#cite_note-5) The letter [å](/wiki/%C3%85 "Å") is pronounced /oː/, derived from an older aa, and an alternate spelling is _paaske_ or _paask_.

### Slavic languages

In most Slavic languages, the name for Easter either means "Great Day" or "Great Night". For example, _Wielkanoc_, _Veľká noc_, _Velika noč_ and _Velikonoce_ mean "Great Night" or "Great Nights" in [Polish](/wiki/Polish_language "Polish language"), [Slovak](/wiki/Slovak_language "Slovak language"), [Slovenian](/wiki/Slovenian_language "Slovenian language") and [Czech](/wiki/Czech_language "Czech language"), respectively. Велигден (_Veligden_), Великдень (_Velykden_), Великден (_Velikden_), and Вялікдзень (_Vyalikdzyen'_) mean "The Great Day" in [Macedonian](/wiki/Macedonian_language "Macedonian language"), [Ukrainian](/wiki/Ukrainian_language "Ukrainian language"), [Bulgarian](/wiki/Bulgarian_language "Bulgarian language"), and [Belarusian](/wiki/Belarusian_language "Belarusian language"), respectively.

In [Croatian](/wiki/Croatian_language "Croatian language"), however, the day's name reflects a particular theological connection: it is called _Uskrs_, meaning "Resurrection". It is also called _Vazam_ (_Vzem_ or _Vuzem_ in Old Croatian), which is a noun that originated from the [Old Church Slavonic](/wiki/Old_Church_Slavonic "Old Church Slavonic") verb _vzeti_ (now _uzeti_ in Croatian, meaning "to take"). In [Serbian](/wiki/Serbian_language "Serbian language") Easter is called _Vaskrs_, a liturgical form inherited from the Serbian recension of [Church Slavonic](/wiki/Church_Slavonic "Church Slavonic"), corresponding to Croatian _Uskrs_. The archaic term _Velja noć_ (_velmi_: Old Slavic for "great"; _noć_: "night") was used in Croatian while the term _Velikden_ ("Great Day") was used in Serbian. It should be noted that in these languages the prefix _Velik_ (Great) is used in the names of the [Holy Week](/wiki/Holy_Week "Holy Week") and the three feast days preceding Easter.

Another exception is [Russian](/wiki/Russian_language "Russian language"), in which the name of the feast, Пасха (_Paskha_), is a borrowing of the Greek form via [Old Church Slavonic](/wiki/Old_Church_Slavonic "Old Church Slavonic").[\[7\]](#cite_note-6)

### Finno-Ugric languages

In Finnish the name for Easter _pääsiäinen_, traces back to the verb _pääse-_ meaning _to be released_, as does the [Sámi](/wiki/Sami_languages "Sami languages") word _Beassážat_\[_[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\]. The [Estonian](/wiki/Estonian_language "Estonian language") name _lihavõtted_ and the Hungarian _húsvét_, however, literally mean _the taking of the meat_, relating to the end of the Great Lent fasting period.

Kanske detta är fel tråd, men ser på en serie om Jesus på svtplay, om hans liv, och död.
