Patsie is a charming, yet uncommon name of English origin. It is a diminutive form of Patricia, which itself stems from the Latin 'patricius', meaning 'noble'. This gives Patsie a historic and distinguished root. The name has been more popular in past generations but continues to hold its unique charm. It is often associated with warmth and familiarity due to its affectionate nature as a diminutive.
The name Patsie had a relatively steady start with 5 births each in 1898 and 1900, followed by sporadic occurrences over the next decade. From 1912 onwards, however, there was a notable increase, peaking at 25 births in 1940. The name's popularity then began to decline, with fewer than 15 births per year from 1947 onwards, and as low as 5 in 1957. Over the entire period, a total of 560 babies were named Patsie.
