The surname Patch, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back to the Gaelic name "Mac Pádraig," meaning "son of Patrick." The name Patrick itself is derived from the Latin name "Patricius," which means "noble or patrician."
In Ireland, the surname Patch originated from County Cork, where the Mac Pádraig clan established themselves as a prominent family. They were known for their contributions to the community and their involvement in local politics. Over time, as families moved and migrated, the name Mac Pádraig was anglicized to Patch.
During the 19th century, Ireland experienced a period of mass emigration due to the Great Famine. Many Irish people sought opportunities and a better life in other countries, particularly in the United States. This led to a significant number of families with the surname Patch settling in America.
In America, the surname Patch continued to thrive, and many individuals with this name made notable contributions in various fields. The Patch family name can be found in records documenting their participation in the American Civil War, their involvement in politics, and their successes in business and entrepreneurship. Today, the surname Patch is still present in Ireland and has spread across the globe as a marker of Irish heritage.
