Berdyne is in Origin.

Berdyne is a modern English feminine name, most likely a respelling of Berdine, which in Dutch and Afrikaans functions as a short form of Bernardine/Bernardina (also spelled Bernhardine). These forms descend from the Old High German Bernhard - bern “bear” + hard “brave, hardy” - yielding the meaning “brave as a bear” or “strong bear.” The y in Berdyne reflects contemporary stylistic trends while preserving the usual pronunciation ber-DEEN.

Usage is very rare in the Anglophone world, where the longer relatives Bernardine and Bernadine appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, then waned. In South Africa and the Netherlands, cognates such as Berdine and Berdien have seen steadier, modest use. Related variants include Berdine, Berdien, Berdina, Berdene; and the broader family Bernadine, Bernardine, Bernardina, Bernadina. Possible nicknames are Bernie, Dina, Dine, and Deenie.
