覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Bernard は bern「熊」と hard「強い・勇敢な」に由来する男性名で、「熊のように強い」という構成を記憶の核にできます。人名なら Bernard、犬種なら Saint Bernard という形で大文字にします。愛称 Bernie と正式名 Bernard の組み合わせも一緒に覚えましょう。
Remember Bernard through its old Germanic elements: bern, “bear,” and hard, “strong” or “brave.” The image of someone “strong as a bear” provides a historically grounded memory link. Bernard is a full masculine name, while Bernie is a common affectionate short form. You may also know Saint Bernard as the large dog breed associated with Alpine rescue. Capitalize Bernard because it is a personal name or part of the breed name, and use the bear image to keep its spelling and origin together.
