Etymology
Patil is a surname derived from the Marathi word "पाटील" (pāṭīl), which historically referred to a village headman or administrator in the administrative hierarchy of the Deccan region. The term has Sanskrit roots, likely connected to administrative or territorial governance roles in ancient Indian systems.
The name is primarily used among Marathi-speaking communities in Maharashtra, India, and by extension among Hindu and other religious communities in the broader Indian diaspora; it gained prominence during the British colonial period when hereditary administrators formalized their surnames around occupational or administrative titles.
Patil currently ranks #1,142 in the United States as a boy's name. It reached its peak popularity around 2020.
