Beanie as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Beanie

What is the meaning of the name Beanie ?

Beanie is English in Origin.

Beanie is an English nickname-turned-given name with multiple roots. Most commonly it extends Bea, the short form of Beatrice or Beatrix; in that line it inherits Latin overtones of blessed joy (Beatrice, later associated with beatus) and, for Beatrix, the older sense of traveler (from Viatrix). It also arises as a term of endearment from the English word bean (Old English bēan), long used for tiny, growing babies, and occasionally as a familial pet form of the surnames Bean/Beane or MacBean, the latter from Scottish Gaelic MacBheathain “son of Beathán” (‘little life’). Usage as an independent first name is modern and informal, seen in the Anglophone world and across genders, though skewing feminine.

Meanings vary with origin: “bringer of joy,” “blessed,” or “traveler” via Bea; “little bean” or “life” via Bean/MacBean. Variants and kin include Bea, Bee, Bean, Beany, and Beaney.
