What is the meaning of the name Honie ?

Honie is English in Origin.

Honie is a modern respelling of Honey, an English given name and endearment drawn from the common noun "honey," from Old English hunig (Proto-Germanic hunag-). As a name it carries the sense of sweetness, warmth, and affection, akin to calling someone "sweetheart." The similar-looking Honi (Hebrew, as in Honi the Circle-Maker) and Hawaiian honi "kiss" are etymologically unrelated but reinforce the soft, affectionate feel.

Used as a byname and pet form since Middle English (often written hony/honie), Honey/Honie has appeared as a given name in the UK and US since the late 19th century, with modest usage in the 20th and a contemporary, playful vibe today. Predominantly feminine but sometimes unisex as a nickname. Variants and spellings include Honey, Honi, Honni, Honnie, Hunny; affectionate short forms Hon and Hun.
