Bonar Family History
Bonar Name Meaning
Scottish: variant of Bonner . Irish (Donegal): Scottish name adopted as a translation of Gaelic Ó Cnáimhsighe ‘descendant of Cnáimhseach’ a byname meaning ‘midwife’. This word seems to be a derivative of cnámh ‘bone’ (with the feminine ending -seach) but if so the reason for this is not clear. Polish: from German Bohner or Boner ‘bean grower’.
