History & Origin

Patriciajo is a run-together form of the double name Patricia Jo, reflecting a mid-twentieth-century, especially Southern, taste for pairing a stately first name with a brisk second one. Patricia descends from Latin patricius, 'noble,' and Jo is a short form of Josephine or Joan. Recorded as one word, Patriciajo reads as a single name while carrying the charm of the old two-part style.

Patriciajo appears for American girls mainly in the early nineteen-fifties, given to only about fifteen a year at its peak and never common. A girl named Patriciajo then would be in her seventies today.

Did you know? Patriciajo captures the mid-century fashion for double names like Patricia Jo or Betty Sue, here fused into a single written word rather than kept as two.
