Boneta is Catalan, Spanish in Origin.
Boneta is a rare feminine given name of Romance origin, most closely tied to Catalan and Occitan. It derives from the medieval name Bonet - ultimately from Latin bonus/Bonitus, “good, virtuous” - with feminine -a; in Catalan the diminutive -eta also colors it with the affectionate sense “little good one.”
As a given name it appears sporadically in Iberian parish records and later in the Americas through Spanish‑speaking migration, and it also persists as a surname. Related forms include Bonita (Spanish), Bonetta/Bonnetta (Anglicized/Italianate), Bona (Italian), and Bonne (Old French); the masculine is Bonet, with Bonetto/Bonetti as cognate surnames. Nicknames such as Bonnie, Nita, and Neta are common. The name’s meaning centers on goodness, kindness, and favorable character.
