From the Latin, "patronus," meaning "protector or defender," as well as the Old French "pater," which means "father," in Modern English, the word for both the male and female person in this position is the same: patron, although the word "patroness" has also been adequately used.
(In French, the female gender variation is spelled "patrone.")
Some fraternal lodges, groups, and organizations are known to have gender-specific identities, whereby a male member is often called "Brother," while the chief male officer is known specifically as the "Patron." In such cases, it would not be inappropriate to refer to a female member as a "Sister," and a female leader as a "Matron." It should be noted that, while "matronly duties" were once seen as being solely domestic and medical, Modern Usage- and life- has expanded the definition of that role to include a leadership capacity in each and every field in which a woman might now seek to be employed)
