What is the meaning of the name Hony ?

The baby name Hony is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈhʌni/ (HUN-ee).

Hony is English in Origin.

Hony is an archaic English spelling of Honey, rooted in Middle English hony from Old English hunig, the word for the sweet substance and a long‑standing term of endearment. As a given name, it conveys “sweetness,” “beloved,” and affectionate warmth, aligning with the English tradition of turning pet names into formal first names.

The spelling Hony appears sporadically in early English records and has seen rare but steady modern use, especially in Britain, alongside the standard Honey. Variants and related forms include Honey, Honie, Honi; and the virtue names Honor, Honora, and Honoria. In other languages, Honi (without the y) coincides with distinct names - Hawaiian Honi meaning “kiss,” and Hebrew Honi/Choni borne by a Talmudic sage - though these are separate origins. Hony today reads feminine in most registries but remains technically unisex, with nicknames like Hon or Honey.
