About Bonnet

Bonnet may look like an English word name for a type of hat — and it may well be viewed as such — however, more traditionally, it's a masculine French name (and surname), briefly in the Top 400 in France during the early 20th-century. A form of Bonitus, meaning "good", it may not have sounded too out of place with the likes of Bonaventure and Boniface which ranked around the same period.

Bonnet for girls

You could see Bonnet as rarely used word name and an unexpected route to nicknames Bonnie and Betty. Or, you could view it as a (masculine) French form of Latin Bonitus, and as a surname-style choice of the same origin.

Yet to appear in the US stats, if Stetson, Denim, and Suede can be used, perhaps Bonnet isn't too far out for girls?

Pronounced BAH-nit.
