Beatrix would (I think) mean “she who is blessed” in Latin, with the masculine being Beatus (which, while it sounds like a joke redneck name today, is seen in the title of European religious music, and is pronounced in three syllables as “bee-ate-us”)
Does that mean the male version of Beatrix is Beator? As in meat beator

I have a good friend in Rome named Beatus Meatus…
Do you find his name… risable?
I think Beatus/Beata are the blessed. I think Beator/Beatrix would be the blesser?
My Latin is rusty.
Wouldn’t it be Bee-ay-toos? Mind you i haven’t taken a Latin class in like 15 years
If you pretend it’s Italian and just pronounce all the vowels one by one, you’ll get a very passable interpretation of ecclesiastical Latin.
Ah catholic school hired a classics major so I was taught classical pronunciation alongside vocabulary not befitting a church or modern setting
