Pronunciation Bo_nn Proper noun f fr Bonn Q586 German de: Etymology From de gmh Bonne, gmh Bunne, from de goh Bunna, from de gmw-pro *Bunnā, from de la Bonna, short for la Castra Bonnensia. The Germanic form shows its very old age in the replacement of -o- with -u-, which then also failed to undergo a-mutation because of the following nasal geminate. The modern German -o- is per se a regular development (cf. de Sonne, de Wonne), but was likely reinforced by readaptation to the Latin. One theory relates it to the tribe la Eburones.François Savatier « Bonn la romaine » dans Pour la Science (2006) no 350, p. 22. Folk etymology has proposed origin from dedication to Saint Boniface, but this is a crass anachronism. During the Middle Ages, Bonn was often called la Verona in Latin texts.
