Bernhard

A gender-specific name traditionally for boys, Bernhard has come from the German name Berinhard. The meaning of Bernhard is 'brave'. It is a variant of the male name Bernard. Bernhard is one of the oldest Germanic names for men, originally taken from West Germanic, which Dutch and Scandinavian origins have also influenced. Bernhard and its variation Bernard were popular names for male babies during the 13th and 14th centuries. This name became concentrated in Germany and Netherlands at first, which then began spreading across the neighboring countries of Europe. The meaning of Bernhard is 'courageous as a bear'. St. Bernard of Menthon first bore this name during the early 11th century; hence it is also a popular Christian name. Bernhard eventually became a very popular first name and a family name in the countries of Germany and Portugal and remained so to this date. Just like every other name, babies with this name are expected to become religious, brave, strong, introspective, and creative. Today, Bernhard and its variant Bernard is also a popular name in English-speaking countries like the United States and England. Some famous people with this name include the German Mathematician Bernhard Riemann, the Swiss-American Engineer Bernhard Caesar Einstein, the German novelist Bernhard Schlink, and many more.
