Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Latin.
Beatrix is a girl's baby name of Latin origin meaning 'she who brings happiness' or 'blessed traveler,' from the Latin beatus. The name carries centuries of royal and artistic distinction — from medieval saints to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands to Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit.
Beatrix has the x-ending confidence of modern names like Lennox and Phoenix, but roots stretching back to the Middle Ages. It's Beatrice with an edge — equally at home in a Victorian novel and a Brooklyn playground.
