Patrick is a boy's name meaning “patrician,” “noble,” and “son of Patrick.” Though also a common Anglicized version of the Celtic and Irish name Padraig, this title has its roots in Latin. St. Patrick is probably the most well-known and celebrated bearer of this title, as he's known for allegedly driving the snakes out of Ireland and converting the nation to Christianity. So highly regarded, the name Patrick was not given to the layman until around the 17th century, from which it blossomed in popularity as an ode to the honorable figure. With such a rich history and culture that has spread far and wide around the globe, the name Patrick has a wealth of opportunities for baby to continue a tradition, or even start their own.
