Beatrycze
One of the rarest names on the list: most Poles have never met a Beatrycze, and it keeps fading. At root it's the Latin Beatrix, read as either "traveller" or "blessed".

What Beatrycze means
Where Beatrycze comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Beatrycze comes from Latin, and its oldest form was Viatrix, the feminine of Viator, a word for voyager or traveller. Early Christians in Rome carried Viatrix as the name of someone on the road. Over time the spelling drifted toward beatus, the Latin for blessed, and the traveller became the blessed one. Both senses still live in the name.
The French variant béatrice made it famous. Dante gave that form to the woman who leads him through paradise. Poland kept its own spelling, Beatrycze, closer to the Latin root.
In Polish the name reads as przynosząca szczęście, the one who brings good fortune. That meaning grew from beatus, the later layer of the name. The traveller root came first. On a school register, Beatrycze still sits nearer to Viatrix than the French béatrice ever did.
