Padric
Padric Origin and Meaning
Padric is a masculine name derived from the Irish Pádraig, which is the Irish Gaelic form of Patrick. The name ultimately comes from Latin 'Patricius,' meaning 'nobleman' or 'of noble birth.' This variant spelling maintains the authentic Irish pronunciation while creating a distinctive written form. Padric carries strong connections to Irish heritage and culture, often chosen by families with Celtic roots or appreciation for Irish traditions. Though less common than Patrick or Padraig, it offers a unique alternative that still honors the same cultural heritage. The name has a dignified, traditional quality while being uncommon enough to stand out. Padric maintains the friendly, approachable nature associated with Irish names while providing individuality.
