Bear with me as I describe a girl’s name that is not just for cuddly teddies. Bernardina is an Italian and Spanish form of Bernardino, a diminutive of Bernardo, which is a version of Bernard. Rooted in Old German, it combines the terms bern, meaning “bear,” and hart, signifying “strong, hardy, brave,” creating the definition “strong, brave bear.” These creatures are known for their protective instincts, keeping their family safe and away from danger. You can be certain baby Bernardina will always watch out for those important to them. Their strength of heart and fearless nature will steer them in the right direction as they go through life. With the name Bernardina, nothing will be able to stop baby.
