Patryk

Boy name · 150 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Patryk: 150 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 21 births in 2013.

Patryk is the Polish form of Patrick, derived from the Latin *Patricius*, meaning "nobleman" or "patrician." The name’s most famous bearer is Saint Patrick, the fifth-century patron saint of Ireland, whose missionary work shaped the Christian landscape of the British Isles. While Scotland doesn’t have a direct place connection through this spelling, Poland claims several cities named Patryków, though these are small villages rather than major landmarks. A further note: Patryk has consistently appeared in Scottish birth records since the 1970s, reflecting the country’s vibrant Polish community—it’s a name that bridges heritage with a strong, classic meaning of nobility.
