Fytzpatrik is Irish in Origin.

Fytzpatrik is a modern, archaic-leaning respelling of the Irish surname Fitzpatrick. The first element Fitz descends from Norman French fiz/fitz, ultimately Latin filius “son,” while Patrick comes from Latin Patricius “nobleman, patrician.” In an Irish Gaelic context, Fitzpatrick also represents the Anglicization of Mac Giolla Phádraig, “son of the devotee of (St) Patrick,” so the name is widely understood to mean “son of Patrick” or “of St Patrick’s devotee.”

As a family name, Fitzpatrick has been recorded since the Middle Ages, especially among the Mac Giolla Phádraig dynasty of Ossory (modern Kilkenny and Laois), and spread throughout Ireland and the diaspora. Using the surname as a given name is a contemporary English-speaking trend; the Fytz- spelling nods to occasional medieval spellings. Variants and related forms include Fitzpatrick, Fitz-Patrick, Fitz, Patrick, Pádraig/Padraig, Patrik, and Patricio.
