Meaning & History

(female) Coined in the United States in the 1940s from the feminine form of Spanish bonito ‘pretty’. This is not used as a given name in Spanish-speaking countries. Bonita looks like the feminine form of a medieval Latin male name, Bonitus (from bonus ‘good’), which was borne by an Italian saint of the 6th century and a Provençal saint of the 7th. However, no medieval record of the feminine form in use as a given name is known.

Pet form: Bonnie.
