Bernardakis Greek, Modern (1453-);: Βερναρδάκης or Μπερναρδάκης) is a Greek surname. It is transliterated Bernardakes, but depending on the original Greek spelling, it sometimes transcribes as Vernardakis given the phonetic values of Modern Greek; nevertheless, given the prominence of many of its bearers outside Greece as well as within, before and after the development of more modern transcription systems, it is often Latinised using a hybrid system. At least one bearer of the name has it spelled in Greek with both the Β and Μπ variants, which can give two different orthographic transcriptions regardless of the system used. Notable bearers of the surname include:
