About the name Beatrice
Dante made Beatrice a vision of divine grace, and Shakespeare made her the wittiest woman in Messina, so the name arrives with two very different reputations. It is climbing again in Britain and Italy while remaining pleasantly uncrowded in the United States.
Beatrice is a girl name of Latin origin, pronounced BEE-ah-triss. On the NameRarity scale it scores 58 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1910s.
