Meaning & origin
Veatrice is an exceedingly rare name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1896. Its peak usage came in 1905, when it was given to a handful of girls, but it never achieved widespread popularity. The name's origin is uncertain, though it likely is a variant of Beatrice or a feminine form of Veator. With a trajectory that has remained stable at very low usage for decades, Veatrice is a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a vintage feel. It has no recorded top states and nearly no similar names in the data.
