While they really could have been anything (maybe starting with the same
letters maybe not) as there are no actual rules to go by, Ruth is actually a
Hebrew name -- Rus (in ashkenazic pronunciation) or Rut (in sephadic).
Doesn't mean thats the answer though. I know people with the English name Ruth
that are named Rochel (Rachel) in Hebrew as well as the reverse!
Good luck

Beatrice sound like : Batya - daughter of G-d
Beena - wisdom
Bracha - blessing
Beatrice means is "Bringer of Joy":
Reena, Reenat,Gila,Hedva - Joy
Simcha - Joy (a little outdated)
Oshra, Oshrat - Happiness
Avigail - My father's joy
Aliza - Joyess

Actually the original Ruth was a Moabite. But it became a Hebrew name.
I would suggest Bracha for Beatrice - close in meaning as well as sound.

name equivalents across languages. It should be obvious to anyone who
atempts even minimal research that Yiddish or Hebrew names have been
converted to any of a number of secular names that may or may not be
related in any way to their Yiddish or Hebrew origins. An attempt to
identify a specific Yiddish or Hebrew origen for a secular name is, at
best, a crapshoot. The only reason for my response to this question is
that my mother took the name of Beatrice. Her original given name was
Blume, which means flower. My mother was highly literate in several
languages and, after her immigration to the US, she took the Hebrew name of
Shoshana, which is a desert flower, sometimes called a desert rose. She
also took the English name of Beatrice, because it had the same beginning
sound as Blume. Her sister Peshe took the name Pauline, her sister Chashe
took the name Harriet, her sister Nechame took the name Naomi, her sister
Yente took the name Jean, and her brother Nachman took the name Norman.
Their Yiddish and their secular names had nothing in common except for the
initial phonetic or its equivalent.

(My mother Beatrice is Batia.)
