Bonzi is Italian, Latin in Origin.
Bonzi is a rare given name most often traced to the Italian surname Bonzi/Bonsi, borne by a Florentine family and recorded since the Renaissance (for example, Cardinal Pierre de Bonzi, 1631–1703). Italian surnames ending in -i typically mark a family formed from a personal name; in this case it points to medieval Bonizo/Bonzo, ultimately from Latin bonus “good,” and overlapping with the Boniface/Bonifacio line from Latin Bonifatius “doer of good.” As a result, Bonzi carries the sense of good, kindly, or beneficent.
As a given name, Bonzi has modern, nickname-like appeal and surfaced in the English-speaking world in the late 20th century; its most visible bearer is American basketball player Bonzi Wells. Usage remains very uncommon. Variants and relatives include Bonsi, Bonzo, and Bonizo; short forms Boni or Bonny; and cognates Boniface (English), Bonifacio (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), and Bonifaz (German).
Bonzi is an uncommon pick. Across 15 countries, we found 37 recorded uses of it.
