Patrik, derived from the Latin 'Patrick,' is a popular male given name of Irish origin. It means 'noble' or 'patrician.' The name gained prominence due to Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to the country during the fifth century. Over time, Patrik has been adopted by various cultures, becoming common in Europe and beyond.
"Patrik appears to have been a popular name for babies born between 1967 and 2023, with peaks in usage during the late 1980s to mid-1990s, and again in the early 2000s. However, there's a significant decline from 2005 onwards, with fewer than 15 births per year since then."
