What Does the Name Beatryce Mean?
Beatryce is a variant spelling of Beatrice, a name of Latin origin meaning "bringer of joy" or "blessed." It comes from Latin Beatrix, the feminine form of beatus ("blessed, happy") with the feminine agent suffix -trix. The literal sense is "she who blesses" or "she who makes happy"; the customary English meaning is "bringer of joy." The spelling Beatryce does not indicate a separate origin: it represents the same name as Beatrice, with y used in place of i, a common alternation in older English spelling.
Beatryce Name History & Origins
The Latin name Beatrix is found in early Christian use, including as the name of a Roman martyr venerated with Simplicius and Faustinus. In the Middle Ages the name passed into the vernacular languages of Europe as Italian Beatrice, French Béatrice, and Spanish and Portuguese Beatriz. English adopted the name from French in forms such as Beatrice and Beatrix. Beatryce belongs to this English family; its y is a spelling variant of i, so it has no separate etymology or history apart from Beatrice.
Dante's Beatrice, the Florentine woman he idealized in the Vita Nuova and made his guide through Paradise in the Divine Comedy, is the best-known literary bearer of the name. The name was already in use before her. The spelling Beatryce is a variant of the standard English Beatrice.
