1Bernard, French/Spanish given or family name, most often referring in Chinese to Claude Bernard, French physiologist and founder of experimental medicine
French physiologist who made controlled experiment the basis of medicine. He showed how the liver stores sugar and described the body's stable internal environment, the idea later called homeostasis.
贝尔纳 follows the French way of saying Bernard, with the final d silent. An English Bernard is usually 伯纳德, and Bernardo adds 多: the footballer Bernardo Silva is 贝尔纳多·席尔瓦.
