All over the world, Patric (Patric , Патрик , باتريك , among others...) is a common predominantly male, but scarcely female first name. The forename Patric is characteristic of Aland Islands, where it is quite a common boy's name, Reunion, and Sweden, where it is quite a rare male name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in Nigeria, South Africa, and the United States. Very seldom, Patric is the last name as well as the forename.
Patric is also a prevalent name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Patrick Star , the main character in SpongeBob SquarePants, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water; Patrick Bateman , the fictional character and narrator of the novel American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, and its film adaptation; Patrick Jane , the fictional character, The Mentalist; Patrick Not-Star , the fictional character in SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Wisely , the fictional human from Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, and in many other works.
