Just a little nitpick on the French word. Since it's from Latin, there's also a Spanish cognate, patrimonio. The word has no exact English equivalent but as parent said, it could mean someone's assets/estate. I would like to add that sometimes it can also be translated as "heritage". This could serve to complete the idea of the concept behind it.

Patrimony is the English word for money, goods, or cultural goods one receives from their father. It also refers to something that belongs in a church, like a relic.

Even inside Romance languages, false friends exist, so I wouldn’t assume the meanings are exactly the same in Spanish and French. (Obligado vs. Obrigado, for the classic Spanish Portuguese example)

> Patrimony is the English word

That's correct. But as a translator, that's a word I wouldn't even consider to use as a translation for patrimonio or similar. Almost no English speaker would understand me. At the very best that person would consider my translation as very idiosyncratic or quirky.

> Even inside Romance languages, false friends exist,

Also correct, but in this case the cognates have almost equivalent meanings. See, for example: https://dictionary.reverso.net/french-spanish/patrimoine
