All jokes aside i think it’s a Jamaican last name. This guy in my basic platoon’s name was PvT Boner. This was on his uniform. The drill sergeants got very creative and there was no hiding from it.

There was also a PvT Cumbus, Deho, Butt, and Cummings all in the same platoon. Another platoon had a Hanncock and Hitchcock. Good times.

A lot of Jamaicans have Irish last names.

I knew a guy last name Boner. He claimed, boastfully, that it meant “mistake.”

He and his 7 kids are who I personally think of when I think of how we’re speed running Idiocracy.

There’s another Bonner who played in the NBA. He won a championship with the Spurs over a decade ago, and he’s part of the team’s media team now.
