Beata

Beata is the feminine form of Latin beatus, meaning “blessed” or “happy.” The excerpts also show it being treated as a religious or devotional name in Christian naming tradition, especially in England. In the same family of names, Beatrice is glossed as “the luck-bringer,” but Beata itself is directly tied to “blessed.”
