1. English (of Norman origin): from a nickname meaning 'good', from Old French bon 'good'. 2. English (of Norman origin): habitational name from Bohon in La Manche, France, of obscure etymology. 3. Dutch: from Middle Dutch bone, boene 'bean', hence a metonymic occupational name for a bean grower or a nickname for a man of little importance (broad beans having been an extremely common crop in the medieval period), or possibly for a tall thin man (with reference to the runner bean).
