The name Páidí is an Irish diminutive form of Pádraig, itself the Irish rendering of the Latin Patricius, meaning "nobleman" or "patrician." It carries strong associations with Irish cultural and sporting life, most famously through Páidí Ó Sé, the celebrated Kerry Gaelic football player and manager. The name reflects the Irish tradition of forming affectionate pet forms by adding the suffix í to a shortened base. Related forms include Pádraig, Paddy, and Patrick.
