/ˈbiːətrɪks/BEE-ə-triks (UK English[1][2] and North American English)[3] /ˈbiːtrɪks/BEE-triks (North American English)[1][4] /ˈbeɪətrɪks/BAY-ə-triks (English approximation in other languages)[5][6][7]
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 (given name) for other derivatives.
