Origin & History

Derived from the Old French 'bonnet', meaning 'cap' or 'hat', from a Gaulish root. It was applied as a nickname or occupational name to a hatmaker or to someone who habitually wore a distinctive cap. The name is concentrated in the Rhone-Alpes and Auvergne regions, where it has been recorded since the 13th century.
