Pádraig (Irish: [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ]),[citation needed] Pádraic (Irish: [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəc])[citation needed] or Páraic (Irish: [ˈpˠaːɾˠəc])[citation needed] is an Irish male name deriving from the Latin Patricius, meaning "of the patrician class", introduced via the name of Saint Patrick. Patrick is the English version, via Old French.
Diminutives include "Podge" and "Paddy"; the latter is often used, sometimes pejoratively, as a term for Irish people as a whole.
