Meaning and background
The story behind Patti
Patti has an Italian surname history from the town of Patti in Messina province, Sicily. That habitational account is separate from a familiar given-name shortening an owner might intend with the same letters. A dog named Patti may honor a person or a family, and those possibilities need not share an origin. The surname evidence supports a particular Sicilian place connection without treating it as the explanation for every modern use.
