Patin is in Origin.

Patin is a rare given name derived from a French surname; that surname is a medieval pet-form in -in built on the Patrick/Patrice root (Latin Patricius), conveying the sense “noble; of the patrician class.” In modern French, patin is also the common noun for “skate,” and in Tagalog it names a river catfish; these are secondary lexical echoes rather than the source of the personal name.

Documented in early modern France as a family name borne by scholars such as Guy Patin (1601–1672) and his son Charles, it later migrated into given-name use through the surname-as-first-name trend, especially in francophone regions and Louisiana Creole/Cajun communities. Patin is used for all genders but skews masculine. Variants and related forms include Pattin and the Spanish-stressed Patín; cognates by origin are Patrick, Patrice, Patrik, and Patricio. Short forms Pat and Tin are occasionally used.
