Meaning and origin of Trixie
Trixie is an English and Latin name that is usually said to mean “diminutive of Beatrix, she who brings happiness”.
Trixie is a pet form of Beatrix, a Latin name usually explained as she who brings happiness, from beatus, blessed. Beatrix is sometimes linked instead to viatrix, a female traveler, and later reshaped to match beatus. It is said TRIK-see. The name is playful and spirited, and Beatrix or Beatrice can serve as a formal name. Trixie was a popular nickname in the early twentieth century and is known from the girl detective Trixie Belden and from Trixie Norton in the television series The Honeymooners.
