Patrick was given the name 'Patricius' by Pope Celestine I before he left for Ireland and Britain as a bishop and missionary. It was a fairly common name in the Roman Empire. Patrick, as far as we know, was the first saint to have that name so he had no patron saint at the time.
Pope Celestine I named him Patricius (Latin) but after no particular person. The name was a fairly common Roman name.
Saint Patrick's birth name was Maewyn Succat which meant 'war-like.' When he was ordained a priest and then a bishop Pope Celestine I renamed him Patricius as he thought that more appropriate for a missionary of the Gospel.
