      French

      Meaning

      Good Village

      Variations

      Corneille, Neville, Connelly
      The name Bonneville originates from the French language and can be traced back to the medieval era. It derives from the combination of the words bon meaning good and ville meaning village. The name Bonneville, therefore, literally translates to Good Village. In medieval times, names were often associated with the location from which a person hailed or a particular characteristic of their village. Thus, it can be inferred that individuals who adopted the name Bonneville were likely associated with or came from a village that was known for its goodness or favorable qualities.

      Throughout history, the name Bonneville has appeared in various records and documents. In medieval times, it would have been primarily used to identify individuals within a small geographic area. However, as time progressed and people migrated, the name spread to different regions and eventually became more prevalent. Today, it continues to be used as a name, and individuals who bear the name Bonneville can be found worldwide. The name has also been adopted as the moniker for several geographical locations, such as Bonneville County in Idaho, United States, and Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, United States. These instances further attest to the longstanding presence and usage of the name Bonneville in both historical and modern contexts.
