Beatrice is the Italian form of Beatrix. Beatrix is thought to be from Viatrix, a feminine form of the Late Latin name Viator meaning "voyager, traveller". It was altered in the middle ages to be associated with the Latin beatus meaning "blessed, happy".

It's one of those names that Jay really likes—he likes Beatrix as well—so it keeps popping up. It shows up in dreams as well so I'm rather fond of it right now.

I think Betsy, Birdy / Birdie, Bunty, or Bee would be a perfect nickname.
