Bonnita
Meaning of Bonnita
Bonnita traces its roots to the Spanish adjective bonita, meaning “pretty,” which in turn derives from the Latin bonus, “good.” As an Anglophone adaptation, Bonnita saw modest but consistent use in the United States from the 1920s through the late 1970s, typically ranking between 550 and 770 on Social Security name lists. Its highest concentration occurred in the early 1940s—peaking around rank 585—before gradually tapering off to the mid-700s by the late 1970s. Technically speaking, its steady presence reflects a mid-century interest in names that conveyed both aesthetic appeal and positive character traits. While never a top-100 staple, Bonnita’s blend of Spanish flair and understated virtue has given it a quietly distinctive place in American naming patterns.
