[edit] Yeah

So since Patrick is derived from Patricius it doesn't mean Nobleman anymore?:(

The name of the saint was always Latinized as Patricius (also in St. Patrick's Latin autobiography), but (and I'm quoting directly from Hanks/Hodges here) "this may actually represent a Latinized form of some lost Celtic (British) name." (page 262) Wathiik 14:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

First of all, is he famous? And if so, why haven't anyone put up a wikisite about him?
