Did You Know? It's St. Paddy’s, Not St. Patty’s!

Ever wondered why it's called St. Paddy’s Day instead of St. Patty’s Day? The name Paddy comes from Pádraig, the Irish name for Patrick. Patty is typically a nickname for Patricia, not Patrick. So, if you want to celebrate like a true Irish local, stick with St. Paddy’s Day!
