A name that means "she who brings happiness".

Beatrix is rising rapidly in the U.S. Today Beatrix sits in the U.S. top 600 and is climbing fast.

Where Beatrix stands.

Beatrix does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
