What is the meaning of the name Bettrys ?

Bettrys is Welsh in Origin.

Bettrys is the Welsh vernacular form of Beatrice, ultimately from Latin Beatrix, built on beatus “blessed, happy” with the feminine agent suffix -trix. The name’s sense is commonly given as “she who brings happiness,” “bringer of joy,” or simply “blessed.” Medieval Latin and Romance liturgy helped spread Beatrix/Beatrice across Europe, and the Welsh adapted it to native spelling conventions as Bettrys/Betrys/Bettris.

In Welsh records from the late Middle Ages through the 17th century, Bettrys appears alongside English Beatrice, with usage later waning before modest modern revival among Welsh heritage namers. Close variants include Welsh Betrys and Bettris; English Beatrice; Latin Beatrix; French Béatrice; Italian Beatrice; Spanish and Portuguese Beatriz; Dutch and German Beatrix; Scottish Gaelic Beitris; and Polish Beatrycze. Short forms used today are most often Bea or Trix/Trixie (from Beatrix), while Betsy/Betsi belong more to Elizabeth. Bettrys offers a distinctively Welsh yet pan-European classic with luminous meaning.
