    How did Pesach come to be used as a name and why aren’t Sukkos,Shavuous,Purim etc. used?

    I knew someone named Pesach and during Sukkos some of his friends would call him Sukkos.

    I know someone who’s last name is Shabbos .

    If he had a son named ‘Yom Tov(which is a common name), his name would be Yom Tov Shabbos;-)

    The mechanic calls my car Shabbos. He won’t work on it.

    I have a nephew Yom Tov, which I believe is a very common name. Pesach I know as a last name and a first.
