Patrik

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Patrik: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2017.

Patrik is the Scandinavian, Czech, and Slovak form of Patrick, itself derived from the Latin *Patricius*, meaning "nobleman" or "patrician" – a member of the ancient Roman ruling class. The name is most powerfully associated with Saint Patrick (c. 385–461), the 5th-century Romano-British missionary and bishop who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland and is now its patron saint. Though less common in Scotland than the English Patrick and Gaelic Pàdraig, Patrik has a strong, international feel, particularly popular in Sweden and Hungary. In the world of hockey, the name is well-known through Swedish legend Patrik Elias, a two-time Stanley Cup winner with the New Jersey Devils. A notable variant is Patrício, the Portuguese form, while the feminine Patrick remains rare.
