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.
