Paco is a Spanish nickname for Francisco. Another nickname for Francisco is Pancho.
One theory says that 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 obtained by taking the first syllable of each word.. Another possibility is it comes from little children's defective pronunciation of their name as "Paquico".
Sometimes people with the name Francisco are also called Kiko. However, this nickname is more commonly used for Federico, Ricardo, or Enrique.
Paco is also a slang term for cocaine paste.
Paco is a 2009 Argentine drama film written and directed by Diego Rafecas, an Argentinian film director. The film was shot in Buenos Aires and South Africa.
The film is named after the protagonist Francisco Black aka "Paco" (Tomás Fonzi), a college student who starts using cocaine paste, a cocaine byproduct known as "paco".
Son of a senator, Francisco falls in love with a cleaning worker. He follows her into Buenos Aires' underworld only to find that his girlfriend has committed suicide after accepting to prostitute herself in exchange for drugs. Seeking revenge, Francisco places a bomb in the drug factory murdering several innocents. As a result of being accused of terrorism charges, his mother uses his influences to try to exculpate him, but she is forced to confine him in a detox clinic, where Francisco finds a bunch of lost souls.
Variety has called the film «an emotive character-driven rehab drama with a strong ensemble cast».

An identifier is a name that identifies (that is, labels the identity of) either a unique object or a unique class of objects, where the "object" or class may be an idea, physical [countable] object (or class thereof), or physical [noncountable] substance (or class thereof). The abbreviation ID often refers to identity, identification (the process of identifying), or an identifier (that is, an instance of identification). An identifier may be a word, number, letter, symbol, or any combination of those.
The words, numbers, letters, or symbols may follow an encoding system (wherein letters, digits, words, or symbols stand for (represent) ideas or longer names) or they may simply be arbitrary. When an identifier follows an encoding system, it is often referred to as a code or ID code. Identifiers that do not follow any encoding scheme are often said to be arbitrary IDs; they are arbitrarily assigned and have no greater meaning. (Sometimes identifiers are called "codes" even when they are actually arbitrary, whether because the speaker believes that they have deeper meaning or simply because he is speaking casually and imprecisely.)
In computing, naming schemes are often used for objects connected into computer networks.
Server naming is a common tradition. It makes it more convient to refer to a machine by name than by its IP address.
CIA named their servers after states.
Server names may be named by their role or follow a common theme such as colors, countries, cities, planets, chemical element, scientists, etc. If servers are in multiple different geographical locations they may be named by closest airport code.
Such as web-01, web-02, web-03, mail-01, db-01, db-02.
Airport code example:
City-State-Nation example:
Thus, a production server in Minneapolis, Minnesota would be nnn.ps.min.mn.us.example.com, or a development server in Vancouver, BC, would be nnn.ds.van.bc.ca.example.com.
Large networks often use a systematic naming scheme, such as using a location (e.g. a department) plus a purpose to generate a name for a computer.
For example, a web server in NY may be called "nyc-www-04.xyz.net".
A name is a word or term used for identification.
