    • 1988, Per Maaranniitty, Saat anteeksi, Suomi, Lohiranta:Laserman, →ISBN, page 132:
      ― ( - - - ) Mitä tarkoittaa muuten ’Pasi’?
      ―Se tarkoittaa ’hän-joka-ei-näy-pimeässä’, Pasi sanoi upottaen hampaansa Birgitin kaulaan. ―Olen vampyyri.
      ―Mutta eihän kukaan―äsh.
      ―Ei se tarkoita mitään. Ellei se sitten ole suomennos nimestä Basileus.
      ― ( - - - ) What does Pasi mean, by the way?
      ―It means 'he-who-cannot-be-seen-in-the-dark', Pasi said and sank his teeth in Birgit's neck. ―I'm a vampire.
      ―But it's not like―argh.
      ―It doesn't mean anything. Unless it's some kind of derivation from Basileus.
    • 1994, Arne Nevanlinna, Isän maa, WSOY, →ISBN, page 132:
      Historiaa opettaessaan hän väänsi Fredrik Barbarossan suomenkieliseen asuun Pasi Punaparta. Sukunimen käännös oli helpommin ymmärrettävä kuin etunimen, mutta Linnoven selitys oli yksinkertainen: Fredriksberg on Pasila, siis Fredrik on Pasi.
      When he taught history, he turned Frederick Barbarossa's name into a Finnish form, Pasi Punaparta. It was easier to understand how the surname was translated than the first name, but Linnove had a simple explanation: Fredriksberg is Pasila, so Fredrik is Pasi.
    • 2013, Minna Lindgren, Kuolema Ehtoolehdossa, Teos, →ISBN, page 8:
      Sinähän niin pidät Terosta, Siiri. Oliko hänen nimensä Tero vai Pasi? Oletteko huomanneet, että nuorten miesten nimet ovat nykyään tällaisia kirveeniskuja: Tero, Pasi, Vesa, Tomi.
      Seeing as you like Tero so much, Siiri... was he named Tero or Pasi? Haven't you noticed that all young men have these names that are like axe blows: Tero, Pasi, Vesa, Tomi.
  2. a Finnish surname transferred from the given name
