Meaning & origin
Patric is a Latin-derived name meaning 'nobleman,' a direct variant of the far more common Patrick. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1917, but it has never reached the top 1000. Its peak usage came in 1992, though it has been declining since 1991. The name's rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a familiar sound without widespread popularity. Despite its low rank, Patric carries the same historical weight as Patrick, evoking the patrician class of ancient Rome.
Patric is a Latin name derived from 'Patricius,' meaning 'nobleman' or 'patrician.' It is a variant of Patrick, historically used in Ireland and Scotland, though less common. The name has seen limited but steady use in English-speaking countries since the 20th century.
