A dapper name with an air of sophisticated charm, Bonner is a fitting celebration of baby’s best qualities. This masculine name comes from the Middle English bonour, meaning “gentle” and “courteous,” and the Old French bonnaire, a shortened form of debonnaire. In Ireland, it is an anglicized version of the surname Ó Cnáimhsighe; in German, it is a short form of Bonhard. With so many worldly connections and a meaning rooted in kindness and grace, Bonner is sure to take baby far.
