Paddie

Paddie is a diminutive form of Patrick, originating from Irish roots. The name Patrick comes from the Latin 'Patricius' meaning 'nobleman,' and Paddie emerged as an affectionate nickname variant. While less common than Paddy or Pat, Paddie offers a playful spelling alternative for boys named Patrick. This variation maintains the friendly, approachable quality that nicknames provide while adding a distinctive spelling. Paddie hasn't ranked among popular boys' names in most English-speaking countries but remains a charming option for parents seeking an informal yet endearing name with Irish heritage connections.

Pronounced PAD-ee.
