If it pleased God to use the Greek word for passover, no argument is sufficient to use an unrelated word.

Tyndale, who invented the actual word 'passover' for pashe used Easter in that passage.

Today if you asked a Greek speaking person their word for Easter, they would say pasche

So Easter can be used for that Greek word as well as Passover.
