Bea is short for Beatrice.

You have a current princess in the UK that is called Bea. And a princess about 125 years ago too (Queen Victoria's youngest daughter).

I know a couple of people called Bea. Her original name is rebecca though she just works with two rebeccas so they shortened her name (Live feed last night)
