Where does the name Patrice come from?
Behind the Name calls Patrice an English variant of Patricia and lists it for girls. Wikipedia says it is an English and French given name of Latin origin, unisex in English but masculine in French, derived from the Latin patricius, meaning “noble.” That makes it a cousin of Patricia and Patrick. A Patrice therefore carries one of the oldest titles of rank in the Roman world, in a short and stylish form.
