Patrick (surname)
The surname Patrick has distinct Irish, Scottish, and English origins. In many cases it derives from the Anglo-Norman French, Middle English, and Older Scots personal name Patrick (Old Irish Patraicc) or as an Anglicised form of the Gaelic Mac Phádraig, "son of Patrick".[1] All have a common origin in the Latin Patricius,[1] itself meaning patrician.[2] In others, the surname Patrick is a shortened form of the surnames Mulpatrick and Fitzpatrick.[1] Many instances of Patrick as a surname appear in Ireland due to Scottish emigration.[1] It can also be a form of the English surname Partridge[3] or an Americanization of several Slavic names.[1][4] People with the surname Patrick include:
