Patrick comes from the Latin Patricius, “nobleman, patrician”.
Saint Patrick, who lived in the 5th century, was a Romanised Briton captured by Irish raiders and kept as a slave for about six years. After escaping home he returned to Ireland as a bishop and missionary and is credited with Christianising the island. The name was not generally given in Ireland before the 17th century, being considered too sacred for daily use.
The warmth of a 6 joins a wider mission: a Patrick often feels responsible for a team, a parish, a club or a classroom.
P, A, T, R, I, C, K total 33, and there is no reduction. Teaching, advising and protecting come easily to him, and sometimes he forgets to look after himself.
The vowels A and I make 10, then 1. Underneath the devoted manner there is an independent core: he means to decide for himself and to take the first step. P, T, R, C and K total 5, a lively, flexible approach, at ease with change and happy to improvise.
P, a 7, opens the name, which gives some reserve at first meeting. A, a 1, follows, so the reserve gives way to a quick move forward when something new turns up.
A 33 asks much of its bearer and may weigh as heavily as it inspires. Many Patricks live very different lives, shaped by other letters and dates.
