About the name Boone
Boone is derived from the Old French bon, meaning ‘good’. It began as a Norman nickname that became an English surname, though some families named Boone took it from the French place name Bohon. The surname is best known through Daniel Boone, the American frontiersman who explored and settled Kentucky in the eighteenth century and became a figure of American folklore. Its use as a given name for boys, mainly in the United States, comes largely from the surname and from Boone’s reputation.
