Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Beatrice je talianska podoba latinského mena Beatrix, používaná aj v ďalších jazykoch. Latinský pôvod je istý, výklady vzniku predlohy Beatrix sa však líšia: spája sa so slovesom beare, „obšťastňovať“, alebo so starším menom Viatrix, „pútnička“, odvodeným od via, „cesta“.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymologický výklad: Etymonline; historická podoba Viatrix: Treccani. Nesklonnosť a výslovnosť [beatris]: Nový deklinačný systém slovenských substantív. Jazykové varianty, talianska výslovnosť a literárne súvislosti: Behind the Name. Beáta je príbuzná česká podoba, nie presný formálny ekvivalent. Domácke tvary sú možnosti rodinného oslovenia, nie overený rebríček obľúbenosti. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
