About the name Patrick
Saint Patrick was a Romano-British teenager kidnapped by raiders, and the name he carried back to Ireland became so bound to the country that it functioned as a national badge for centuries. It is drifting gently downward now, which has left it feeling settled and adult rather than dated.
Patrick is a boy name of Latin origin, pronounced PA-trik. On the NameRarity scale it scores 34 out of 100, which places it in the popular band — a well-used favourite — expect to share it occasionally. Its strongest period was the 1960s.
