Buney is in Origin.
Buney is a rare modern English given name, most likely a phonetic variant of Bunny or of the surname Bunney. In English, bunny has long been an affectionate word for a rabbit and, by extension, a pet-name for a loved one; by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Bunny appeared as a nickname and occasional given name for both sexes (seen in figures like jazz musician Bunny Berigan and photographer Bunny Yeager). As a surname, Bunney is locational, linked to the Nottinghamshire village of Bunny, and that stream of usage may also have fed the given-name spelling Buney.
Its meaning centers on endearment and the rabbit’s symbolism - gentleness, quickness, warmth, and springtime vitality. Variants include Bunny (standard), Bunney, Bunni, Bunie, and the less common Buni; related sound-alikes include Bonnie (Scottish, “pretty”) with a distinct origin. Short forms such as Bun or Buni work naturally.
