Bernardo
The name Bernardo carries the meaning "Italian/Spanish form of Bernard", with roots in Italian. It has stayed remarkably steady since peaking in the 1990s. As things stand now, it is a distinctive, less common pick. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
