History & Origin
Marypat compounds Mary, one of the most enduring Western names, from the Hebrew Miryam, with Pat, short for Patricia, from the Latin patricius, 'noble.' Double names built on Mary were especially common in mid-century Catholic families.
Marypat was never common as a single word, given to about nineteen girls a year at its peak around 1961, and it faded by the late 1960s as double names of this style gave way to single given names. A girl named Marypat then would be in her sixties today.
