Bene Gesserit - Origin of the name
In the real world, the name "Bene Gesserit" was likely extracted from the legal Latin phrase "quamdiu se bene gesserit" = "as long as he/she shall behave himself well", via someone knowing that "bene" is also Hebrew for "sons of". Bene Gesserit by itself means "(s)he shall have behaved well".
Gesserit is a form of the Latin verb 'gero' (specifically the third person singular of the future perfect active indicative), whose meanings include "to carry", "to wear", "to manage", "to bear [a child]", "to behave", or simply "to do". Thus the translation of "bene gesserit" is open to wide interpretation. Among the possibilities are "it will have done well", "she will have born [a child] well", "he will have behaved well", et cetera.
In Brian Herbert's biography of his father, Brian speculates that the name "Gesserit" is supposed to suggest to the reader the word Jesuit, thus envoking undertones of a religious order.
