Bernard Name Meaning and History
English, French, Dutch, Polish, Czech, and Slovenian: from a Germanic personal name (see Bernhard). The popularity of the personal name was greatly increased by virtue of its having been borne by St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c.1090–1153), founder and abbot of the Cistercian monastery at Clairvaux.
Americanized form of German Bernhard or any of the other cognates in European languages; for forms see Hanks and Hodges 1988.
In addition to the above, there are also immigrants from Switzerland, Russia, Ireland, Scotland and Sweden.
