The given name 'Beatrix' is Latin; it is thought to originate from a Latin term - Viatrix, the feminine of Viator - meaning a traveler, a voyager.

The name is widely used in Europe. The Italian spelling, 'Beatrice', is also common in the UK; in Portugese and Spanish the spelling is 'Beatriz', and the pronunciation differs according to region. Elsewhere, pronunciation is fairly similar between languages: Bee-uh-trix, or Be-ah-trix, though in Dutch the name is pronounced Bay-ah-trix.
