Celebrate baby’s inner tree hugger with the name Vernard. This masculine name comes from the Old French name Vernon and Latin word vernus, meaning “alder grove” or “spring,” respectively. If spending time in the great outdoors is an important part of your life, Vernard can help your little one share this love with you. Vernard may also act as a variant spelling of the Old German name Bernard, meaning “brave, strong bear.” If you want to help baby feel one with nature, from the lush trees to the animal kingdom, Vernard will make for a great choice.
