From 'Pat,' diminutive of Patrick, with French diminutive suffix -on Paton was not uncommon in the western counties, where in pre-Reformation times Patrick was one of the most popular names. In Ayrshire pronounced Pauton. Paton is said to have been the name of a son of Sir Patrick Herring (fourteenth century). Royal pardons were granted to Paten Broune alias Broun and to the servant of Patein or Pateman Broin, 1407 (Bain, IV, p. 150).

Patin Mac Gillenef is in record in the reign of William the Lion (LSC., p. 214), and Padyn, a chaplain, who witnessed a charter of confirmation by the Chapter of Dunblane, c. 1235, is doubtless Padin, presbyter of Mothel (Muthill) who appears in 1239 (LAC., 53, 54).
