Bernardakis Greek: 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:

  • Christophoros Vernardakis - Greek political scientist, Alternate Minister of Administrative Reform in the Second Cabinet of Alexis Tsipras
  • Demetrios Bernardakis - Greek playwright, brother of Gregorios
  • Dimitrios Bernardakis (Vernardakis) - Greek merchant and philanthropist; benefactor of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
  • Gregorios Bernardakis - classical philologist, brother of Demetrios
  • Demetrios Bernardakis (philologist) - classical philologist, son of Gregorios
  • Panagiotis Bernardakis - classical philologist; son of Demetrios (philologist), grandson of Gregorios
