Beatrice ( or ; ) is a name derived from the French name Béatrice, which came from the Latin Beatrix, which means "she who makes happy".
Beatrice is the Italian language variant. The French form is Béatrice, and the Spanish and Portuguese form is Beatriz.
The popularity of the name spread because of Dante Alighieri's poetry about the Florentine woman Beatrice Portinari.
The name is rising in popularity in the United Kingdom. It is also gaining popularity in the United States, where it ranked as the 691st most popular name for baby girls born in 2012.
Beatrice is a Hungarian rock band founded by Fero Nagy. Although he was not a trained musician or a talented singer, his stage persona, together with his professional rock instrumentalist partners, made the group one of the most popular hard rock bands in Hungary in the late seventies. They had two notable periods: the early days in the late seventies, when they became rock icons (with songs like "Big City Wolf" and "Jericho", released so later on Banned Songs album, 1993), and a second wave of popularity in the early nineties (with the albums I Hate the Whole XX. Century and The Most Byouthiful Songs of our Childhood). Through dissolutions and re-formings, causing fluctuating popularity, being active even till the recent days, Beatrice is one of the most enduring rock bands in the country.
