Origin, Meaning, distribution, variants

The English name is derived from the Latin name Patrick Patricius (actually " patrician, noble " ) ago. Its popularity in the British Isles, particularly in Ireland, he owes the Holy Patricius ( " Patrick of Ireland " ), the patron saint of Ireland and National. In Irish, it corresponds to the name Pádraig, but the English form shows less Irish influence, but rather the form of the French Patrice.

Since the 17th century, the name is in the form Patrik also in Scandinavia, especially in Sweden, common. In Germany the first name Patrick was rarely represented before 1960. In the 1980s he became one of the most frequently awarded first name, since then its popularity has waned but steadily.

Common short - and Koseformen of the name are Pat, Patty, and particularly in Irish English Podge and Paddy; latter form is used in English as a generic Spitz or nickname for the Irish, see the article Paddy ( Ethnophaulismus ). The name Ricky is sometimes represents a short form of Patrick, but is mostly for Richard or Frederick.

The female equivalent of Patrick is Patricia.
