This is not true (see the link below). The real reason that they are called St Bernard is that they were a special breed of dog bred and used by the monks of the monastery of St. Bernard in Switzerland to help rescue travellers and mountaineers who were lost in the snow.

The dog isn't a saint. The St Bernard is a breed of dogs that come from Switzerland, they are named after the St Bernard's pass, where the dogs help people who get into trouble on the mountain.

@MALUSE Apparently the dog is now on the endangered species list.
