Patte Origin and Meaning

The name Patte is a girl's name.

Patte is a feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive form of Patricia, which derives from the Latin 'patricius' meaning 'noble' or 'patrician.' In French, 'patte' also means 'paw' or 'foot,' giving the name a subtle connection to nature. The name features a distinctive spelling with the double 't' and silent 'e' typical of French orthography. Patte has never been widely popular in English-speaking countries, remaining a rare choice that carries a certain European elegance. Its brevity and soft sound make it appealing to parents looking for something simple yet uncommon with French flair.
