Background : Fitzpatrick is the only surname with the prefix “Fitz” which is of native Gaelic-Irish origin. Donal Gěolla Phŕdraig (d. 1087), from whom the family derived their name, was the famed warrior son of Donnchadh, King of Ossory (present day Kilkenny and adjacent areas) in the 11th century.
