History & Origin
Patt is a spelling variant of Pat, the short form of Patricia, from Latin patricius, 'noble.' It appears in United States records from around 1927, in the era when nickname forms were commonly registered as first names, with a small high in the mid-1940s.
It was always rare in this spelling, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and faded by the early 1960s. Standard Pat or the full Patricia are the usual choices; Patt reads as a trim mid-century variant. It pairs naturally with the same era's Patsy and Patti.
