As Bonnie was hopping through the forest, she decided to dig burrows for fun and that is when she uncovered a book hidden under a large oak tree and wrapped in a large cloth. The book had written on the cover in gold, "The Book of Words," with a small inscription inside the cover "Search and you will find the meaning." Bonnie began to wonder the origins and meaning of her name and so she opened the book and searched for Bonnie. 

A Spark of Curiosity

Bonnie Bunny found herself in a time long, long ago. The air was filled with scents of wildflowers and ancient stories. She explored a new world where every step was a leap into history. The past held secrets of how the word 'bonnie' was first cherished. Bonnie Bunny's journey started in Scotland. 

In Scotland, and in the Scots language the word "bonnie," meant "pretty," "attractive," or "handsome."  As a given name like Bonnie Bunny, it embodies beauty and charm, reflecting a cultural appreciation for natural and personal loveliness. Historically in Scotland it was used to describe boys or girls, but it has become predominantly used for girls in our modern times.

Next Bonnie found herself exploring the outskirts of a French castle. The name’s connection to the French word "bonne" (feminine form of "bon," meaning "good") ties it to qualities of goodness, kindness, or virtue. In France, while "Bonnie" itself isn’t a common given name, its root suggests a positive, moral character. The Latin "bonus" (good), from which "bon" derives, reinforces this association. In French-speaking regions, it might be perceived as an imported name with a cheerful, pleasant ring.
