Origin and meaning

nobleman or patrician (Latin)

The name originates from the Latin 'Patricius', denoting a member of the patrician ruling class in ancient Rome. It gained global Catholic popularity via Saint Patrick, the 5th-century missionary to Ireland. In the Philippines, the English form Patrick became widespread during the American colonial period and remains a common, classic Christian male name.

Patrick is derived from the Latin name Patricius, meaning 'patrician' or 'nobleman'. It became widely established through the patron saint of Ireland and entered the Philippines predominantly through American English naming influences and Catholic tradition.
