One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus, who mentioned a certain Patrisio Florus, a Roman senator and military commander in the 1st century AD.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Patrisio. One such figure was Patrisio Genovese (1599-1671), an Italian painter and architect from Naples, known for his works in churches and palaces across Italy.

FAQ
Patrisio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Patrisio?

The single biggest year for Patrisio was 1979, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Patrisio is about 44 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Patrisio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Patrisio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Patrisio in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Patrisio can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
