There is no authoritative global list of places named Patny, and references are typically specific to local maps or administrative records.

As a surname, Patny has been reported in some communities. Spelling variants such as Patni or similar forms are more common in South Asia, suggesting that Patny may be a less common transliteration variant or a local adaptation of a longer family name. The exact origin and distribution of the surname are not well documented in widely available sources.

Linguistically, patni (spelled with an i) is a common term in several Indian languages meaning wife, and transliteration variations could yield Patny in certain contexts.
