Beatrix is a Latin feminine given name, most likely derived from Viatrix, a feminine form of the Late Latin name Viator which meant "voyager, traveller" and later influenced in spelling by association with the Latin word beatus or "blessed".[8] It is pronounced /ˈbiːətrɪks/ BEE-ə-triks in British English[1][2] and the same[3] or /ˈbiːtrɪks/ BEE-triks in North American English.[9][4] Another North American English pronunciation however approximates that of most other languages: /ˈbeɪətrɪks/ BAY-ə-triks, as shown by US dictionary entries for the former queen of the Netherlands.[5][6][7]

Common forms of this name include Beatrice in English and Italian,[10] Béatrice in French, Beatriz in Spanish and Portuguese,[11] Beate in German, and Beata in Polish and Swedish. Common short forms are Bea and Trixie. See Beatrice for other derivatives.
