Meaning & History

Derives from 'Bono Vox', an altered form of bonavox, which is Latin for "good voice". On its own, it could be seen as a variant of BONUS.

Stage name of Irish musician and lead singer of the rock band U2 (born Paul David Hewson), originating as a nickname in his teens. His friend apparently got the idea from the name of a hearing aid shop in Dublin.

Could also derive from the surname BONO.
