Patsi
Patsi Origin and Meaning
Patsi is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Patricia, which derives from the Latin 'patricius' meaning 'noble' or 'of noble birth.' This playful spelling variant of the more common 'Patsy' emerged in the mid-20th century when unique spellings became fashionable. The name carries a friendly, approachable quality and was most popular in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Patsi embodies the post-war era's affection for nicknames used as given names. While its usage has declined since its peak, Patsi retains a vintage charm that appeals to parents looking for names with a warm, unpretentious character and mid-century nostalgia.
