Easter as it is called in the English language is based off Passover. The only other language I have come across to label it anything close to Easter is German with Eoster.
Most languages in the world don't have separate words for Passover and Easter and those that do, have the words similar so as to point to the connection.
Most of the pagan traditions that find themselves into "Christian" traditions impact the secular observance rather than the religious observance. The two major holidays of Christmas and Easter, throughout history, each encompassed two separate holidays very much different from each other. For Christmas, the secular version won out.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
