Family Tree: Where did I Come From? (Etymology)
Many have asked me about my heritage and where I came from. Here is my post that addresses that question...
My family is both Middle English (bealte and beute) as well as Old French (biaute, beltet, beauté). My Hispanic relatives are know as beldad. My Italian friends refer to me as beltà .The very top of my family tree as known in late Latin as bellitatem or bellus meaning beautiful.
I think it is funny that the name Beauty is international. Everyone recognises the word, and it is a part of each and every ones culture. Usually around the world, the word for things change like trashcan in the United States and rubbish bin in the United Kingdom. However, everyone knows the word for beauty, and even though it might mean something different in each culture, it stands for the same overall meaning.
With Love,
Beauty
