According to Wikipedia – “Patricia (IPA: /pəˈtrɪʃə/) is a common female given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word patrician, meaning ‘noble’.”When I was growing up, I heard that I was supposed to be named Gail but at the last minute, they changed it to Patricia. I was always called Patty growing up unless I was in trouble, and then I became Patricia. I spelled Patty in different ways when I was in school. Some years it was Patty, or Patti, or Pattie. Years ago when I ran for public office (Soil and Water Conservation Commissioner), I went by Pat because it sounded more grown up. Now I can tell who first knew me when by what they call me.

I will just call you MOM. LOL. I know then you know when I first knew you , Maybe when I was in diapers. HEHEHE
I knew that Patricia meant that. I remember 7th grade when we would talk about the Patricians...the noblemen. Everytime the teacher would say that word, my head would pop up.
I changed it to Tricia in about the 8th grade...got tired of writing it all out! Just curious what your middle name is...mine is Leigh.
Dyanna: Daddy laughed when I read him your comment and he said that it was a good one!
My middle name is Ruth (named for my mother's mother)
