A Dictionary of First Names | 2006 | | Copyright

Bernadette ♀ (French) feminine diminutive of Bernard. Its use in Britain and Ireland is largely confined to Roman Catholics, who take it in honour of St Bernadette Soubirous (1844–79), a French peasant girl who had visions of the Virgin Mary and uncovered a spring near Lourdes where miraculous cures are still sought.

Variant: Bernardette.
