Origin
Meaning and history of Patrizio
The name Patrizio is derived from the Latin name Patricius, which means "patrician" or "noble". It has its origins in ancient Rome, where the patricians were members of the aristocratic class.
The earliest recorded use of the name Patricius dates back to the 3rd century AD, when it was used by several Roman senators and members of the nobility. One of the most notable examples is Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, whose birth name was Patricius. He lived in the 5th century and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland.
In the Middle Ages, the name Patrizio became popular in Italy, where it was often used by members of the wealthy and influential families. One of the most famous bearers of the name was Patrizio Piccolomini, an Italian painter and architect who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
Another notable figure with the name Patrizio was Patrizio Veneziano, an Italian architect and engineer who worked in the Republic of Venice in the 15th century. He is best known for his work on the Basilica di San Marco and other important buildings in Venice.
In the 17th century, Patrizio Trinci was an Italian painter and engraver who worked in Rome and Naples. His works can be found in many churches and museums throughout Italy.
In the 19th century, Patrizio Gaspari was an Italian mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the field of celestial mechanics. He was born in 1808 and died in 1885.
The name Patrizio has maintained its popularity in Italy over the centuries, and it is still used today as a first name for boys. However, it is not as common as it once was, and it is more frequently seen as a middle name or as part of a compound name.

FAQ
Patrizio: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Patrizio?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Patrizio going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Patrizio a common name?
We classify Patrizio as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Patrizio most popular?
The single biggest year for Patrizio was 1992, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Patrizio is about 33 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 Patrizio in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Patrizio a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Patrizio in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Patrizio still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Patrizio 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 Patrizio 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.
