Where did the German Bohnet family come from? What is the German Bohnet family crest and coat of arms? When did the Bohnet family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Bohnet family history? Bavaria, Germany is the original homeland of the Bohnet family. Bohnet is a patronymic name, a type of surname that derived from the given name of the father of the original bearer. Bohnet was derived from the Germanic personal name Bono, which is in turn derived from the Old Nordic word bon, which means demand or petition. Many cultural groups lived in the German states in medieval times. Each had its own dialect and traditions, and unique variations of popular names. Low German, which is similar to contemporary Dutch, was spoken in Westphalia. German names are characterized by additions such as regional suffixes and phrases that tell something about the origin or background of its original bearer. Further contributing to the variation in German names was the fact that there were no spelling rules in medieval times: scribes recorded names according to their sound. The recorded spelling variations of Bohnet include Bohn, Bohen, Boehn, Bohenn, Bohne, Bohene, Bohenne, Boen, Boene, Boenn, Boenne, Boehne and many more. First found in Bavaria, where the family contributed greatly to the development of an emerging nation. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bohnet research.
