Patrick
Name — gematria and numerology meaning
| Cipher | Value |
|---|---|
| Ordinal (A=1, B=2…) | 78 |
| Reverse Ordinal (Z=1, Y=2…) | 111 |
| Reduction | 33 |
| Pythagorean | 33 |
| Chaldean | 21 |
Patrick carries an ordinal value of 78, reducing to Six, a number tied to care and responsibility. Its reverse ordinal of 111 sits well above its forward ordinal of 78, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet. The Chaldean system gives 21, which reduces to Three and so reads differently from the standard total.
Patrick is from the Latin patricius, "nobleman." Saint Patrick, the 5th-century missionary, was born in Roman Britain, taken to Ireland as a slave in his youth and later returned as a bishop; his feast day is 17 March. The Irish form of the name is Pádraig.
Saying it. The Irish Pádraig is pronounced roughly "PAWD-rig," and the common short forms are Paddy, Pat and Packie. Saint Patrick's Day, 17 March, is a national day and public holiday in Ireland and is celebrated worldwide by Irish communities.
How Patrick adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Patrick is spelled P-A-T-R-I-C-K, which gives 16 + 1 + 20 + 18 + 9 + 3 + 11 = 78. Reducing the total to a single digit (7+8=15, then 1+5=6) gives 6.
