NAMEROOTS/P/P%c3%a1draig%c3%adn
The name appears to be a URL-encoded form of Pádraigín, an Irish diminutive of Pádraig, itself the Irish form of the Latin Patricius, meaning "nobleman" or "of patrician birth." The suffix -ín is a common Irish diminutive particle conveying affection or smallness, making Pádraigín roughly equivalent to "little Patrick." The name is deeply associated with Ireland's Christian heritage through Saint Patrick, the fifth-century missionary and patron saint of Ireland. Related forms include Pádraig, Patrick, Paddy, and the Scottish Gaelic Pàdraig.
