Beatrix
Beatrix is a female given name .
Origin and meaning of the name
The name "Beatrix" was associated with the Latin word beatus early on ; so one could translate the name as "the one who blesses". In fact, Beatrix has nothing to do with beatus , it is a modification of the name Viatrix. This is the feminine form of viator , "wanderer, pilgrim".
In addition to the Occitan modification Beatrice , Beate is also a possible short form of Beatrix.
