So Is it St. Paddy's Day or St. Patty's Day?
Paddy is derived from the Irish, Pádraig: the source of those mysterious, emerald double-Ds.
Patty is the diminutive of Patricia, or a hamburger, and just not something you call a fella.
There isn’t a person in Ireland that would refer to a Patrick as “Patty”. It’s as simple as that.
