The surname Pattersons comes from the Irish Ó Casain. At one time it was anglicized as Kissane, but this is now obsolete as a variant of Pattersons. 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. 1
