Bunni is English in Origin.

Bunni is a modern respelling of Bunny, an English endearment turned given name. Bunny arose in Scots/Northern English dialect as a pet term for a rabbit, probably from bun meaning “rabbit”; by the 18th century “bunny” spread as a term of affection. As a name, Bunni inherits the gentle, playful associations of the animal: softness, agility, and springtime renewal.

Used chiefly in the U.S. and other English-speaking countries from the early-mid twentieth century, it appears mostly as a nickname, sometimes as the formal name, and is broadly unisex though more common for girls. Spelling variants include Bunny and Bunnie; related nickname forms include Bun. Some bearers use it as a diminutive for names beginning with B (e.g., Barbara, Bernice, Bonita), but it stands independently. The creative -i ending of Bunni lends a contemporary, boutique feel while keeping the airy, affectionate tone.
