Patsie
Patsie Origin and Meaning
Patsie is a feminine name primarily used as an affectionate diminutive form of Patricia, which derives from the Latin 'patricius' meaning 'noble' or 'of the patrician class.' This spelling variant, with the -ie ending rather than the more common -y, gives the nickname a slightly more feminine and playful quality. Patsie emerged as a nickname in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century when Patricia ranked among the most popular girls' names. Though less commonly used as a formal given name, Patsie has occasionally appeared on birth certificates as a standalone name. It carries a warm, friendly quality with vintage charm, evoking the mid-century era when nickname forms were frequently used as proper names.
