Berma is a name of Spanish origin, derived from the word 'bermudo', meaning 'famous' or 'renowned'. It's composed of the elements 'bermu-' and '-a', the latter being a feminine suffix. Berma was traditionally given to girls in Spain but has also been used as a boys' name in some regions.
The name Berma experienced varied popularity over time, with a significant peak between 1916 and 1920, reaching as high as 16 births in 1920. However, it seems to have been less favored during the mid-to-late 1930s and early 1940s, with fewer than 10 births per year. The name regained some popularity post-WWII, with peaks in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Overall, over a century, there were 266 babies named Berma.
