Benilde in pop culture
- The saint is known as Benilda in Spanish. It comes from the old Germanic name Bernhild meaning "bear
battle," but folk etymology likes to connect this name to the same Latin source as Benedict, thus giving it the meaning of "good." This meaning and etymology, however, are mere wishful thinking.
