Padraic is Irish in Origin.
Padraic is an Irish Gaelic form of Patrick, ultimately from Latin Patricius, meaning patrician or nobleman. Through early Christian Latin into Old Irish, the name developed regional spellings such as Pádraig, Pádraic, and Páraic; Scottish Gaelic uses Pàdraig. In everyday speech the name is often rendered as POR-ick or PAW-rik, while the unaccented Padraic coexists with the fada-marked Pádraic and the widely used Pádraig in modern Irish.
Carried to Ireland’s shores with Saint Patrick in the fifth century, the name became a mainstay of Gaelic and later Anglo-Irish naming, appearing in medieval annals and persisting through the Gaelic Revival. Notable bearers include writer Pádraic Ó Conaire, poet-dramatist Padraic Colum, and poet Padraic Fiacc. Diminutives and variants include Páidí, Paudie, and Paddy; cognates are Patrick (English), Patrice (French), Patricio (Spanish/Portuguese), Patrizio (Italian), and Patryk (Polish).
