History & Origin

Patrycja is the Polish spelling of Patricia, carrying the Latin Patricius, 'noble' or 'of the patrician class.' It appears in American records mainly among Polish immigrant families, who kept the native spelling and its distinctive pah-TRITS-yah sound. It remained a heritage name here rather than a mainstream one.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its high around 2000. A girl named Patrycja then is a young adult today.

Did you know? In Polish the ending cja is said like 'tsyah,' which is why Patrycja sounds quite different from the English Patricia even though the two are the same name.
