Bernardetta is the feminine Italian and Polish form of Bernard, a name of Germanic origin combining "bern" (bear) and "hard" (brave, strong), thus meaning "brave as a bear" or "strong, hardy bear." This elaborate feminine version is most famously associated with Saint Bernadette Soubirous, the 19th-century French girl who reported visions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes.
