Name: Beat
Now, to everybody who isn’t familiar with Swiss given names: Beat is my real first name. It comes from the latin word “beatus” and means the blessed one. As you can see from my blog’s description, it allows all kinds of word plays in the english language…
There are two female forms of the name. Beatrice is more often used in Switzerland and France, the other, Beate, is used primarily in Germany.
