The Italian or Latin version is Beatrice. Bea is the nickname. Beata or beato literally means blessing in Latin.


Beatrice has Christian origins. The Italian (Jewish) version is Benedetta


You are right.

I guess that would Grace as in 'Grace after Meals'

but if you are willing to consider other names beginning other that beginning with B there are many elegant names such as Isabelle, Grace, Eleanor (or Ellie), Anna, Susanna, Louise or Lois, and many more. all these names would be ok whatever your age

I'm surprised anyone would suggest Isabelle. Besides being the translation of Jezebal/Izevel, who was a wicked queen in Tanach, it is also the name of the wicked Spanish Queen Isabelle who expelled the JEws in 1492. Not exactly great connotations over there.

Actually, Isabelle comes from Elizabeth. The similarity to Izevel is coincidental. Just saying.
