Berna is a personification of the city of Bern. Bernabrunnen was built in 1858 just next to the federal palace of Switzerland in Bern. The column with the statue on top was added in 1863.
1313 Berna is a main-belt asteroid. It was discovered on August 24, 1933 by Sylvain Julien Victor Arend in Ukkel, Belgium. The name was chosen by Sigmund Mauderli who calculated the orbit. In 2004 a satellite of this asteroid was identified: S/2004 (1313) 1.
