Meaning and background
The story behind Trix
Trix is documented as a short form of Beatrix, keeping the final consonant cluster from the longer name. It is pronounced as one syllable in English. Unlike the ordinary spelling *tricks*, Trix does not have an inherent meaning of practical jokes, even if that wordplay appeals to an owner. Its established route is through a personal name.
