patta

Patta is a term with multiple meanings in different contexts, most commonly associated with land ownership in parts of South Asia and with a well-known Dutch streetwear brand. The meaning and significance of patta vary by country, language, and legal framework.

In Tamil Nadu and several other Indian states, a patta refers to a government-issued title deed that records a person’s rights to a land parcel. This document serves as evidence of possession or ownership and is used for property taxation and transfer of rights. A patta is separate from a sale deed and can be required for matters such as mutation of records or admission of a family member to the title. Patta rights can be subject to regional land reform laws and may be challenged or modified by legal processes or government orders.

In the realm of fashion and popular culture, Patta is a Dutch streetwear brand established in Amsterdam in 2004 by Edson Sabajo and Guillaume Schmidt. The brand operates its own stores, produces apparel and sneakers, and frequently engages in collaborations with other brands. Patta has become influential within European street fashion and has a global following.

The term patta may also appear in other local or historical contexts to denote a grant, certificate, or permit, depending on language and jurisdiction. Because meanings can differ markedly by region, context is important when interpreting the term patta.
