What Patrycy means
Where Patrycy comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Patrycy comes from the Latin patricius, the word Rome used for a member of its founding families. Those families were the patres, the fathers whose descendants held rank in the early city. The name means nobleman, patrician, someone szlachetnie urodzony. The rank passed by birth.
In Polish the name arrives with its feminine partner, Patrycja, and the two share the same root. Patrycja is far more common on a class register today. Patrycy stays the rarer form.
A boy named Patrycy carries a title that once decided who sat in the Senate. The meaning has softened into good standing rather than legal privilege. Read on an imieniny card, the name still points back to Rome and the patres. The short meaning stays plain: nobleman, patrician.

Patrycy appears 5 times in the Polish name day calendar, never as a main name. The first of these dates is 16 March.
