Beatrix
Beatrix , 1938–, queen of the Netherlands. The oldest daughter of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, she received a law degree from the Univ. of Leyden (1961). In 1966 her marriage to German diplomat Claus von Amsberg, once a member of the Hitler Youth and the German army but cleared of charges by an Allied court, caused considerable controversy. The following year she gave birth to a son, Willem Alexander Claus, the first male heir in the line of succession since 1884; she also has two other sons. In 1980, Juliana abdicated in favor of Beatrix. |

Beatrix
Beatrix ♀ From a Late Latin personal name, which was borne by a saint martyred in Rome, together with Saints Faustinus and Simplicius, in the early 4th century. The original form of the name was probably Viatrix, a feminine version of Viator ‘voyager (through life)’, which was a favourite name among early Christians. This was then altered by association with Latin Beatus ‘blessed’ (Via- and Bea- sometimes being pronounced the same in Late Latin). See also Beatrice.
Short forms: Bea, Bee. Pet forms: Beat(t)ie. |
