Globally, Paterne (Paterne , Patern ) is a common primarily male, but very infrequently feminine forename. The given name Paterne is characteristic of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is quite a common primarily boy's, but very seldom female name, Cameroon, where it is quite a rare masculine name, and Ethiopia, where it is a rare epicene name. Much less frequently, Paterne is the last name as well as the forename.
