ArchivesRe: Beatrice and her meaning
in reply to a message by guasguendi
I agree, the spelling was altered to reflect "beatus", so the meaning "bringer of happiness" is a logical reading of Beatrix, although the name can also be interpreted as a derivation of Viatrix.
To mention some contemporary examples of a similar phenomenon — Schuyler being spelt Skyler to reflect the word "sky", or Heartley instead of Hartley.
