Bon Family History
Bon Name Meaning
French: approbatory (or ironic) nickname, from Old French
bon ‘good’ (Latin bonus).French: occasionally from
the Latin personal name Bonus (likewise meaning ‘good’), which
was borne by a minor 3rd-century Christian saint, martyred at Rome
with eleven companions under the Emperor Vespasian. It was adopted as
a personal name partly in his honor and partly because of the
transparently well-omened meaning.Hungarian: from a short form of
the old ecclesiastical name Bonifác (see Boniface).
