Patrica Origin and Meaning

Patrica is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Patricia, which derives from the Latin word 'patricius,' meaning 'noble' or 'of patrician rank.' This alternate spelling removes one of the 'i's from the traditional form but retains the same pronunciation. Patrica emerged as a variant in the 20th century but has remained significantly less common than Patricia, which reached peak popularity in the 1940s-1960s in the United States.
