Patrizius Origin and Meaning

The name Patrizius is a boy's name.

Patrizius is the Latin form of Patrick, a name derived from the Latin "patricius" meaning "nobleman" or "of the patrician class" in ancient Rome. While Patrick became widely popular across Ireland and English-speaking countries, the Patrizius form remained primarily used in classical contexts and in some European regions, particularly with German influence. The name carries a distinguished, scholarly quality with its Latin ending. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was known in Latin documents as Patricius or Patrizius. This form of the name offers a formal, classical alternative to the more common Patrick, appealing to parents interested in historical or classical naming traditions. Its usage remains quite rare in modern times.
