So far, what I have come up with is there is no actual Hebrew name for Patricia that I can find. But, I do know a Jewish Scholar that speaks fluent Hebrew and I will ask him when he comes online.

Hey Patricia. I talked to my friend and he said there is no Hebrew word for the name Patricia that he knows of. Sorry.

Well, if you can go with a little lateral thinking, Patricia means noblewoman and in Hebrew Malka means queen.

You cannot "translate" proper names from one language to another. If the concept behind a word exists in both languages then, for example you can translate "egg" from English to French (it's "oeuf") and you can translate "yema" from Spanish to English ("yolk") but people's names are not translatable. There are no "translations" of Pierre or Hans or Laura.

However, you may be able to transliterate a word which is spelled out in e.g. Roman characters into another alphabet, that is, maybe you could assemble a "word" in Hebrew characters which, when read aloud, sounds like "patrisha"?

I suspect that is what the original questioner wanted to know.

I suspect it might be a hard job getting any answer to show up here except as an image.

pe - aleph - tet - resh - aleph perhaps?
