Meaning & origin
Patrici is an unusual spelling of Patricia, a classic name with Latin roots meaning 'noble'. While the standard Patricia ranked among the top 10 names in the U.S. for much of the mid-20th century, the Patrici variant has always been exceedingly rare. It first appeared in Social Security records in 1949, and its peak year was 1964, likely reflecting the height of Patricia's popularity. Since then, usage has been minimal and stable, with fewer than five occurrences per year. The name has never been recorded in the top 1000, and no state has reported significant usage. Patrici offers a distinctive twist on a traditional favorite, appealing to parents seeking a familiar yet uncommon choice.
