Patrycja

Girl name · 36 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Patrycja: 36 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 10 births in 2009.

The Polish feminine form of Patrick, Patrycja traces its origin to the Latin *Patricius*, meaning “nobleman” or “patrician” – a member of the ancient Roman upper class. One of Poland’s best-known singers, Patrycja Markowska, has carried the name into the pop charts, while model Patrycja Soliman has represented it on international runways. Though the name doesn’t have direct place associations, its masculine counterpart is forever linked to Saint Patrick, the fifth-century missionary and patron saint of Ireland. Across Polish communities, common diminutives include Pati and Patka, giving the name a warm, affectionate feel. While less common in Scotland, Patrycja has appeared among the country’s birth records in recent decades, reflecting its growing multicultural tapestry.
