Origin:Hebrew
Other Origin(s):Latin
Meaning:Bringer of happiness
Leatrice is an unusual feminine name, artfully blending two ancient tongues to create one hidden gem. On one side lies the biblical title Leah, often defined as "weary," "tired," or "cow," from the Hebrew name Leʾa or the Akkadian word littu. On the other is Beatrice, from the Latin Viatrix, which means "voyager." Others connect Beatrice to the Latin beautus, meaning "blessed," which only enhances Leatrice's hopeful and adventurous air. American actress Leatrice Joy first brought this moniker into the public sphere, so if you're a fan of silent films, it will likely seem familiar.
