Meaning: Patrician

Padraic is an Irish name for boys. Its origins can be traced back to the Latin patricius, meaning “patrician,” a word used to refer to members of the ruling class. It was introduced to Ireland through its patron saint, St. Patrick, for whom a grand parade is celebrated annually in the Western world on March 17th. This traditional name, whose alternative forms include Padraig and Patricia, is an easy way to share your Irish heritage with your little one or commemorate their March birthday.
