History & Origin
Veatrice is a respelling of Beatrice, whose Latin root beatus means 'blessed' or 'happy.' It appears in United States records from the mid eighteen-nineties and peaks around 1919, when Beatrice was popular and softened B-to-V spellings occasionally reached the registry, especially in the South. The meaning carries over intact from the parent. It was never common in this form, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
Last recorded in the early nineteen-nineties, Veatrice spans a grandmother-to-great-grandmother range and has not revived, though Beatrice is firmly back with the antique-name trend. Parents charmed by its 'brings happiness' meaning would most likely choose the standard Beatrice, with Bea or Trixie as nicknames.
