Origin and meaning of Beatriz
Beatriz comes from the Latin Beatrix, feminine of Beator, related to beatus, 'happy, blessed' — meaning 'she who brings happiness' or 'bringer of joy'. Made famous by Dante Alighieri as the spiritual guide in the Divine Comedy, it took hold across the Iberian world. In both Portugal and Brazil it remains a classic, consistently among the most chosen names, thanks to its elegant sound and long royal and literary tradition.
