History & Origin

Katricia pairs a Ka- opening with Tricia, drawn from Patricia, whose Latin root patricius means 'noble' or 'patrician.' The coinage keeps that dignified meaning while giving the well-worn name a fresh, rhythmic form in the style of its era.

The name stayed rare, reaching a small high around 1975 before easing off. A Katricia from that time is in her late forties today.

Did you know? Patricia was hugely popular in the mid-century, and its short form Tricia spun off inventive blends like Katricia and Latricia as parents sought fresher variations.
