Meaning & History
Derived from the Italian adjective buono meaning "good" as well as "fair" combined with giunta, the feminine past participle of the Italian verb giungere meaning "to arrive". As such, the name is basically a reference to the safe arrival of a newborn.A notable bearer of this name was the Italian poet Bonagiunta Orbicciani (c. 1220-c. 1290). He also appears as a character in the poem Divine Comedy written by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri (c. 1265-1321).
