Paco is a Spanish nickname for Francisco . One theory says that the nickname has its origins in Saint Francis of Assisi , who was the father of the Franciscan order . According to folk etymology , his name was written in Latin by the order as Pater Communitatis ( father of the community ) ; hence `` Paco '' was obtained by taking the first syllable of each word .
