Reply to: Beata as a nickname for Beatrice? by Telfalathiel
How long ago did she live? I think sometimes similar names were seen as almost interchangeable. I know, for example, that in England Ann and Agnes (which was pronounced "Annis" in the old days) were often seen as the same name and someone might appear in once document as Ann, another as Annes or Annis, and another as Agnes.
