Beatrix
Netherlands' former monarch
Beatrix is a feminine given name, Latin in origin, meaning "she who makes happy" or "bringer of joy." The name appears in European royal families—notably Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands—and in literature, where Beatrix Potter created Peter Rabbit.
The name has an old-fashioned elegance: Little Beatrix was named after her great-grandmother.
