Tips

memory
Four-character map of the four English syllables: (pà) = 'Pa', (tè) = 't', (lì) = '-ri-' (the 'r' becomes 'l' as Mandarin has no syllable-initial 'r' in this position), (xià) = '-cia'. The choice of ('beautiful') and ('summer') gives the name a pretty feel — translators often pick auspicious characters when transliterating women's names.
culture
From Latin 'patricius' (noble, of the patrician class) — same root as English 'patrician' and the boy-name Patrick (帕特里克 Pàtèlǐkè).
