Trisha

Trisha is an English given name that arose as an informal short form of Patricia, which itself derives from the Latin patricius, meaning of noble birth or belonging to the patrician class. The name gained widespread use in the twentieth century, particularly in English-speaking countries, as a standalone given name rather than merely a nickname. Patricia was popularized in part by its association with Saint Patrick and the broader Patrick name family. Related forms include Tricia, Trish, and Patricia.
