Bertrice

Bertrice, a delightful variant of Beatrice, is a feminine name that promises a bright future for your little shining star! Rooted in the Italian form of Beatrix, Bertrice likely stems from Viatrix, a Late Latin name meaning "voyager" or "traveler," and was often associated with the Latin word beatus, meaning "blessed" or "happy." The "Bert" in Bertrice may also draw from the Germanic names Albert or Adalbert, meaning "noble and bright." One of the most notable bearers of this name was Bertrice Small, a New York Times bestselling author celebrated for her historical romance novels. She is often credited for bringing this genre to the spotlight, living up to this moniker's "bright" and "noble" ambitions.
