Fitzpatric is Irish in Origin.

Fitzpatric is a streamlined variant of Fitzpatrick, an Anglo-Norman Irish surname now used as a given name. The prefix Fitz comes from Old French fiz/filz, from Latin filius “son,” attached to Patrick, from Latin Patricius “noble; patrician.” In Ireland the surname also reflects the Gaelic Mac Giolla Phádraig (“son of the devotee of St Patrick”), so the name carries the senses “son of Patrick” and, by extension, “of noble lineage” through Patricius.

Adopted as a forename via the English-speaking habit of using surnames as first names, Fitzpatric remains rare but recognizable in the US, UK, and Ireland from the late 19th century onward, with modest modern revival. Variants include Fitzpatrick (standard), Fitz-Patrick, and Fitzpatrik; short forms Fitz and Pat/Paddy occur. Related names are Patrick and Pádraig. Usage is largely male but can be unisex in contemporary naming.
