Paco is a Spanish nickname for Francisco. According to folk etymology , the nickname has its origins in Saint Francis of Assisi , who was the father of the Franciscan order; his name was written in Latin by the order as pater communitatis (father of the community); hence "Paco" was supposedly obtained by taking the first syllable of each word.
San Francisco de Asís was known as Pater Communitatis (father of the community) when he founded the Franciscan order, and "Paco" is a short form of Pater Communitatis. [citation needed] In areas of Spain where Basque is spoken, "Patxi" is the most common nickname; in the Catalan areas, "Cesc" (short for Francesc) is often used.
