Definitions

Proper Noun
  1. 1
    A female given name from Latin.

    ""[…] Our house is not of the era of Queen Isabella, but of the Princess Patricia." "That sounds like Aunt Isabel. They always called me Patricia there. Don't you think, papa, now that I'm getting so grown up, I ought to be called Patricia? Patty is such a baby name." "Patty is good enough for me," said Mr. Fairfield. "If you want to be called Patricia, you must get somebody else to do it. I dare say you could hire somebody for a small sum per week to call you Patricia for a given number of times every day." "Now, you're making fun of me, papa; but I do want to grow up dignified, and not be a silly schoolgirl all my life.""
