*patēr > Pătĕr > patres > pătrĭcĭus
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Latin “Pătrĭcĭus,” meaning “nobleman, patrician, of noble lineage, ancestry,” from “patres” nominative plural of “Pătĕr,” which in turn derives from the Proto-Italic “*patēr,” meaning “father, head of household.” The term “Patrician” originally referred to a group of elite families in Ancient Rome, including both their natural and adopted members. In the late Roman Empire, the class was broadened to include high council officials. After the fall of the Western Empire, it remained a senior honorary title in the Byzantine Empire. 1) Saint Patrick (Pádraig) was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the “Apostle of Ireland,” he is the primary patron saint of Ireland and saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-apostles and Ireland’s Enlightener. 2) Saint Patricia of Naples (Patricia of Constantinople) is an Italian virgin martyr and saint. Tradition states that she was noble and may have been related to the Roman Emperor. Some sources say that she was a descendant of Constantine the Great. Wishing to escape a marriage arranged by Constans II, she became a nun, and she went to Rome.
