Thinking about the name
Patterson
English origin
“Primarily a surname meaning 'son of Patrick' (from Patrick + the Old English patronymic '-son'), Patterson occasionally appears as a given name, particularly in North America. When used as a given name, it carries the strength of a family surname with the dignity of Patrick's Latin roots (patricius, 'noble'). It reflects a modern trend of surname-as-given-name, appealing to those honoring family heritage.”
