What is the meaning of the name Patricio ?

The baby name Patricio is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish IPA: /paˈtɾi.sjo/; respelling: pa-TREE-syo.

Patricio is Latin, Portuguese in Origin.

Patricio is the Spanish form (Portuguese Patrício) of Latin Patricius, meaning “patrician” or “nobleman.” Introduced across the Roman world and preserved through Christian usage, the name owes much of its durability to Saint Patrick (5th century), the missionary bishop associated with Ireland; his cult circulated widely in medieval Europe, bringing the name into Romance languages. Patricio took root in Iberia and, later, traveled through Spanish colonial expansion to Latin America, where it remains familiar yet moderately used.

Variants include Patrick (English), Patrice (French), Patrizio (Italian), Pádraig/Padraic (Irish), Pàdraig (Scottish Gaelic), Patryk (Polish), and Patriciu (Romanian). Feminine forms are Patricia and Patrícia. Common nicknames in Spanish-speaking countries are Pato and, less often, Patri. The name’s core meaning - “of noble rank” - conveys dignity and Roman prestige, and the feast of San Patricio on March 17 offers a convenient name day beyond the Anglophone world.
