I believe the answer is:

pascal

(Other definitions for pascal that I've seen before include "17th century French mathematician -- SI unit of pressure" , "Unit of pressure; French scientist" , "Seventeenth century French physicist" , "Unit of pressure, French philosopher and programming language" , "religious philosopher" .)
