What is the origin of Patrick?

Patrick is used predominantly in the English, French, Gaelic, German, and Irish languages, and it is derived from Latin origins. The name is of the meaning nobleman. Patricius (Latin) is an older form of Patrick. The name was borne by Saint Patrick (389-461), the patron saint of Ireland. He was born in England and captured to Ireland as a slave boy. He later escaped, but eventually returned to Ireland as a missionary; through his works, almost all in Ireland were converted to Christianity. His name appeared as Patricius in his Latin autobiography, but the name may ultimately be of a lost Celtic origin, although it is often taken to derive from the Latin 'patricius' (of noble class). In Ireland, the name was initially considered too sacred to be bestowed on children; therefore, it was first adopted in the Scottish Highlands, as well as in England, where it was taken up in the 12th century. The Irish took up the name later, and by the 18th century, the name in its various Irish forms has become widespread in the country. Modern use of the name still retains an Irish flavor, to the extent that the term 'Paddy', used since the 19th century, remains a byname for Irish persons in general.
