Padhraig

If your pride in your Irish roots runs deep, why not celebrate by naming baby Padhraig? A masculine title, Padhraig is a respelling of Pádraig, the Irish form of Patrick. Deriving from the Latin moniker Patricius, Padhraig and Patrick translate to “nobleman” or “patrician.” In Ancient Rome, members of the ruling class were called “patricians,” so don’t be surprised if little Padhraig has you wrapped around their finger. This moniker may also bring to mind the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. Every March 17th, countries throughout the world celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, hosting parades and turning their rivers green! Even if the third month of the year hasn’t arrived yet, you and Padhraig can still celebrate your Irish heritage.
