That's funny. Since in Hungary we (that is, Catholics who are somewhat knowledgeable about being near the altar) call "paten" patena and it's supposed to be Latin... so it must be a coincidence in English. I didn't know what pattens were and I'm hard pressed to recall what the Hungarian translators did with "pattens" since I haven't ever heard of an equivalent being used in 19th century Hungary. Now there is something to look up, if I can spare the time!
