Patsy by the numbers
In 2025, 20 babies in England and Wales were named Patsy. In the US, 15 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 4,790 babies in 1941, so it is a 1940s name that has since fallen a long way.
