Meaning & origin
Beatryce is a rare medieval variant of the more common Beatrice and Beatrix. First recorded in the U.S. in 1914, it has never appeared in the top 1000 and remains extremely uncommon. Its trajectory has been stable at near-zero usage, and no states have recorded notable numbers. For parents drawn to vintage names with a literary feel, Beatryce offers an offbeat alternative to the more popular Beatrice, though its obscurity may be a factor to consider.
Beatryce is a rare variant of Beatrix, derived from Late Latin Beatrix, meaning 'she who brings happiness' or 'blessed,' from the Latin verb beare ('to bless'). The name was borne by the 4th-century Christian martyr Saint Beatrix, though its use in England remained uncommon until the 19th century. The spelling Beatryce is a medieval variant, occasionally revived in modern times.
