What Patryk means

Where Patryk comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.

The short meaning of Patryk is plain. It names a nobleman, a patrician, szlachetnie urodzony in Polish. That sense reaches back to the Latin patricius, the word Rome gave its oldest ruling families, the households seated closest to power.

In Poland the name found a saint. Patryk keeps his imieniny on 17 March, the feast of Saint Patrick, the missionary who became patron of Ireland. A few other dates survive, 16 March and 28 April among them, though 17 March holds the most Patryks.

The variant Patrik sits close by, one letter lighter and easier abroad. Around 180,000 people in Poland carry the name today, by the PESEL count. Read a school register in almost any town and a Patryk answers. The name still says what it said in Rome: patrician, nobly born.
