Bunyan Family History
Bunyan Name Meaning
English (Bedfordshire): nickname for someone disfigured by a lump
or hump, from a diminutive of Old French bugne ‘swelling’,
‘protuberance’. The term bugnon was also applied to a kind of
puffed-up fruit tart, and so the surname may also have been a
metonymic occupational name for a baker of these.
