Pat was born in New York in 1953 as Patricia Mae Andrzejewski; in 1982, she would marry guitarist Neil Giraldo (who she is still married to, and has two children with).  So where did the name 'Benatar' come from?  It came from Pat's high school sweetheart Dennis Benatar, who she would marry in 1972 at the age of 19.  The two would divorce in 1979, but Pat's career had already begun to take off, and she elected to keep the name.
