Meaning and background
The story behind Trixie
Trixie is an established diminutive of Beatrix, with a short first syllable followed by an 'ee' ending. It is often used as a familiar personal or pet name, but the underlying relationship is to Beatrix rather than to the English word *trick*. Because Beatrix has a disputed early development, a simple translation such as 'bringer of joy' needs separate etymological qualification.
