Patience Worth was the name of a person who supposedly lived from 1649 - 1694. She allegedly had contact with a woman named Pearl Curran (1883 - 1937) through a Ouija board, and inspired Pearl to publish novels and poetry under her (Patience's) name.
Whether it was Pearl or Patience's spirit that wrote the works is still unknown to this day.

Patience Phillips is Catwoman's real name in the 2003 release of "Catwoman".
Patience Hodgson, lead vocalist of Australian alternative rock band The Grates, is a bearer. Not exactly famous, but she has certainly given this name an edge I didn't think it had before.
