Patrick (given name)
From MedBib.com - Medicine & Nature
Patrick is a male name derived from either the Latin name "Patricius" (patrician, i.e. nobleman) or from an earlier Celtic name.[1] It was Gaelicised as Padraic or Padraig, and owing to the importance of Saint Patrick in Irish history, it is an especially popular name in Ireland.
