Bundey is English in Origin.

Bundey is a rare English surname adopted as a given name, likely a spelling variant of Bundy. The surname goes back to Middle English bonde, from Old Norse bóndi/búandi, meaning farmer or householder - a free tenant responsible for a homestead. As a given name it carries connotations of steadiness, self-reliance, and guardianship of land.

Attested in Britain by the early modern period, Bundey became visible in Australia through figures such as William Henry Bundey and Sir Henry Bundey, whose surname also appears in Australian place‑names. Given‑name use emerges from the late 19th century, typically in families honoring a maternal or ancestral surname. Variants and cognates include Bundy, Bunday, Bondy, and Bond; related forms reflect the same Norse-rooted sense of an independent landholder. Possible short forms are Bun or Buddy, while Bundy itself functions both as a variant and a nickname.
