Bernadeen is Germanic in Origin.

Bernadeen is an English variant spelling of Bernadine/Bernardine, the feminine form of Bernard. Bernard comes from Old High German elements bern “bear” and hard “brave, hardy,” yielding the meaning bear‑brave or strong as a bear. The name’s use was bolstered by medieval reverence for saints named Bernard and by the fame of the preacher Saint Bernardine of Siena, whose cult popularized feminine Bernardine forms in Catholic Europe.

In the Anglophone world, Bernadeen surfaced in the late 19th century and saw modest U.S. use in the 1910s–40s, with the - een ending reflecting contemporaneous tastes. It remains rare today, lending a vintage, tailored feel. Variant and related forms include Bernadine, Bernardine, Bernadene, Bernardina, Bernarda, Bernhardine, and French Bernadette; common diminutives are Bernie, Dina, and Deenie. All share the ursine, valor‑tinged sense of steadfast strength.
