Buoni Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

Buoni is best understood together with Buono: both are Italian spellings of one family name. The change of ending between Buono and Buoni reflects the Italian habit of naming a family in the plural or the singular. Surname dictionaries give the meaning as “good”. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard.

You may also find the name written Bono.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Buoni, so the heraldry linked to Buono is a starting point, not an automatic right. For the full story, order the Buoni surname pack.
