Bernadene is an English feminine given name, a 20th‑century variant of Bernadine/Bernardine, the female forms of Bernard. Bernard derives from Old High German elements bern “bear” and hard “brave, hardy,” yielding the meaning “strong, brave as a bear.” Through medieval French and Latinized forms (Bernardus), Bernard spread widely in Europe; feminine offshoots later developed in French and English, with Bernadette best known via the Lourdes visionary.

As Bernadene, the spelling appears chiefly in the United States, entering usage by the 1910s and peaking from the 1920s to 1940s alongside other -ene endings, before declining; today it reads as a rare, vintage choice.
