Where did the Irish Patterson family come from? What is the Irish Patterson family crest and coat of arms? When did the Patterson family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Patterson family history?

The surname Patterson comes from the Irish O Casain. At one time it was anglicized as Kissane, but this is now obsolete as a variant of Patterson. Patterson is a somewhat unusual variant brought about through pseudo-translation. "Casan" means "path," locally pronounced in Connacht as "Pat" which strangely brings about Patterson.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Cussane, O'Cussane, Patterson, Paterson and others.

First found in Connacht, where it belonged to one of the eight Sodhans. The Sodhans were septs which were located in the Hy Many (Ui Maine) country, but whose ancestors were not of that group.
