Meaning & origin
Beatriz, the Spanish and Portuguese form of Beatrix, has been a consistent though not overwhelmingly popular choice in the United States. First recorded in U.S. data in 1894, it reached its peak rank in 1993 (1,703rd in 2025). Its trajectory has been slowly falling since 1992, with a 1-in-13,394 incidence rate in the latest year. The name has found particular favor in states like Massachusetts, Arizona, and Virginia. While never breaking into the top 1,000, Beatriz maintains a steady presence, often chosen by families with Hispanic heritage or those seeking a classic, elegant name with a rich Iberian tradition.
Beatriz is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Beatrix, which itself derives from the Latin name Viatrix, meaning 'voyager' or 'traveler.' The spelling was later influenced by the Latin word 'beatus,' meaning 'blessed.' The name has been used in Iberian cultures since at least the Middle Ages, notably borne by several queens and saints.
