The surname Patrick is Scottish and English in origin: from the Anglo-Norman French Middle English and Older Scots personal name Patrick. In some cases it is an Anglicised form of the Gaelic Mac Phádraig, derived from world elements meaning "son of Patrick". This Gaelic surname is derived from the Latin Patricius, which is in turn derived from word elements meaning "member of the patrician class". In other cases, the surname Patrick is a shortened form of the surnames Mulpatrick and Fitzpatrick.[1] The surname Patrick appears in Ireland due to Scottish emigration.[1][2] People with the surname Patrick include:
