In some parts of Latin America, particularly Mexico and Central American countries, Patricio may be shortened to Pato.

/paˈtɾiθjo/

While the name Patricio is common, the nickname Pato is not just a shortening but also means 'duck' in Spanish. This can lead to humorous situations if someone is teasingly called by their nickname.
While Patricio is a name, the common noun patricio describes a member of the ancient Roman upper class. This term is still used in Spanish history and law to denote an aristocratic lineage.
Although San Patricio is celebrated in many Spanish-speaking countries, these parades are generally an import from Irish-American culture rather than a native Spanish custom.
