Patrick is a male name derived from either the Latin name "Patricius" (patrician, i.e. nobleman) or from an earlier Celtic name. [Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges. "Oxford Dictionary of First Names," Oxford University Press, 1996. ISBN 978-0192800503. See page 262. ] It was Gaelicised as Padraic or Padraig, and owing to the importance of Saint Patrick in Irish history, it is an especially popular name in Ireland.
