Meaning and history
Patrik is the Swedish, Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene form of Patrick. Patrick comes from Latin Patricius, meaning “nobleman” or “patrician.” Its enduring Christian and Irish association comes from Saint Patrick, the fifth-century missionary traditionally credited with helping establish Christianity in Ireland. Notable bearers include Swedish ice hockey player Patrik Elias and Czech footballer Patrik Schick. The spelling Patrik reflects regional orthography and is not a separate name with a different underlying meaning.
