In the entire world, Падди (Paddy , Падди ) is a common principally masculine, but very infrequently girly first name. The forename Падди is characteristic of Ireland, where it is quite a common masculine name, Israel, and Hong Kong, where it is quite a rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently female name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is commonest in Israel, Ireland, and Australia. Much less frequently, Падди is the last name as well as the forename.
