Patty

Patty is an English diminutive of Patricia, itself the feminine form of the Latin name Patricius, meaning "nobleman" or "of patrician rank," derived from the Latin word patricius. The name gained widespread use in the English-speaking world as Patricia became popular in the twentieth century, with Patty serving as its familiar everyday form. It is also used as a short form of Martha in some traditions, though this connection is far less common. Related forms include Pat, Patti, and Tricia.
