Tricia

Tricia is an English feminine name that originated as a short form of Patricia, itself the feminine counterpart of the Latin name Patricius, meaning "nobleman" or "of patrician rank." The patricians were the hereditary aristocratic class of ancient Rome, so the name carries connotations of noble birth and high social standing. Tricia gained independent use as a given name in the twentieth century, particularly in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Patricia, Trish, and the variant spelling Trisha.
