My name

My Name

My name is from the Latin word Patricius, it means nobleman. It has the base (patr) as in patron- financial or other support, Patrol- watch over or guard, Patriotic- support for you country ready to defend it. Words that have (patr) as their base usually have a supportive or loyal meaning.

I got my name because my parents had unusual names so they wanted to give us normal names. So they thought and came up with Patrick because it is Irish and they both have Irish heritages.

My middle names are John and Allan. Traditionally the men on both sides of my family have to middle names. John comes from my great grandpas middle name. Allan comes from my dad and my grandpa’s middle names.I am proud of my name and I hope I can live up to it.
