History & Origin
Pattie is a friendly spelling of the pet name for Patricia, whose Latin root patricius means 'noble.' Given outright since the late nineteenth century, it flourished in mid-century America as parents happily used the diminutive as a full name.
Pattie crested in 1958 and slowly receded through the century's end, so it reads as a grandmother- or great-grandmother-era name today. Musician Pattie Boyd kept the spelling in view; parents now usually choose full Patricia.
