Census
Patryk in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 1,374 people with the first name Patryk, which placed it at #9,900 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Patryk
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Patryk is White at 95.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (2.1%) and Two or More Races (1.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Patryk described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Patryk at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Patryk
Patryk is a masculine given name originating from the Latin name Patricius, which means "patrician" or "nobleman". The name is derived from the Latin word "patres", meaning "fathers", referring to the aristocratic families of ancient Rome.
The name Patryk gained popularity during the spread of Christianity in Europe, particularly in Ireland, where it was Anglicized as Patrick. St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, lived in the 5th century AD and is credited with bringing Christianity to the Irish people. His fame and the veneration of his name contributed to the widespread use of the name Patryk and its variants across Europe.
One of the earliest recorded examples of the name Patryk can be found in the medieval Polish chronicles, where it was spelled "Patryk" or "Patryk". The name was particularly popular among the Polish nobility and clergy during the Middle Ages.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Patryk. One of the most famous was Patryk Gołuchowski (1592-1670), a Polish nobleman, and military leader who fought in the Smolensk War against Russia. Another notable figure was Patryk Ogiński (1737-1818), a Polish-Lithuanian composer and diplomat who served as the Grand Hetman of Lithuania.
In the arts, Patryk Chelmicki (1827-1916) was a Polish painter and illustrator known for his depictions of historical events and portraits of prominent figures. Patryk Jasinski (1902-1970), on the other hand, was a Polish-American actor and singer who appeared in numerous Hollywood films during the golden age of cinema.
More recently, Patryk Jaki (born 1986) is a Polish politician and lawyer who served as the Deputy Prime Minister of Poland from 2017 to 2019.

FAQ
Patryk: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Patryk?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 1,015 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Patryk going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 337,689 US residents.
Is Patryk a common name?
We classify Patryk as "Rare". It ranks above 90.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 1,030 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Patryk most popular?
The single biggest year for Patryk was 2009, when 63 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Patryk is about 22 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Patryk in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 1,374 people with the name Patryk, or 0.45 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #9,900 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Patryk in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Patryk?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Patryk appears almost entirely male. Of the 1,374 people counted with this name, 99.9% were male and only a very small share were female. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Patryk?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Patryk is White at 95.7%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (2.1%) and Two or More Races (1.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Patryk most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Patryk in the 2020 Census, accounting for 95.7% (1,315 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Patryk in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Patryk a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Patryk in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Patryk still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Patryk in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Patryk can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
