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]
