Patrick
[ˈpætrɪk]Meaning
from the Latin Patricius, meaning "nobleman, patrician"
Background Story
Patrick comes from the Latin name Patricius, which meant "nobleman, patrician". The name was adopted in the 5th century by Saint Patrick, whose birth name was Sucat, and who is called Pádraig in Irish. In England and elsewhere in Europe during the Middle Ages the name was used in honour of the saint, but it was not generally given in Ireland before the 17th century because it was considered too sacred for everyday use, and it has since become very common there.
