 Concerning the Names Patrick, Padraig, Patricia and the Like
Patricia and other feminine forms of the name did not appear in the British Isles until the 18th century.
Patricia and other feminine forms of Patricius are found before 1600 in some languages elsewhere in Europe, particuarly in Italy where Santa Patrizia was patroness of Naples.
In 13th to 15th century England, women were occasionally named Patrick and recorded in latinized records as Patricia, but the independent use of Patricia seems to have arisen in Scotland in the 18th century and to have become popular in the late 19th century in imitation of Princess Patricia of Connaught [14].
