∙ 10y ago"Patron" is used as a title for both genders, as the Latin form of the word, patronus, is gender-neutral.
People mistakenly associate "patron" with the Old French word "pater", which meant "father". But the origin of "patron" was not French, it was Latin.
Although "patron" is gender-neutral, some people have invented a more feminine-variant such as patroness and patrone.
Some organisations refer to female patrons as "matrons", though these days it is easy to mistake the title for that of a head nurse.

'Patroness' However, 'patron' is masculine and indicates 'father'. So 'patroness' is making a 'father' into a 'woman'. A better word in 'matron' , but this has medical/hospital overtones.
