The h in Beathrice is not part of the Latin, Italian, or French forms; it belongs to an English respelling of Beatrice.

Beatrice came into English through the French Béatrice, which derives from the Italian Beatrice; both go back to Latin Beatrix. The Latin name was used in Christian Europe, where saints named Beatrix were venerated, and it also appears among medieval noble families.
