Mabonaqain is in Origin.

Mabonaqain is a rare modern coinage, likely blending Mabona with Qain/Qayin. Mabona appears as a southern African surname from Nguni (Zulu/Xhosa) -bona, “to see, perceive.” Qain recalls the Semitic name Qayin (biblical Cain), associated either with Hebrew qanah “to acquire” or an older root “smith; metalworker”; in Arabic, qayn likewise means “smith.” As a composite, it suggests readings such as “seer who acquires” or “perceptive maker.”

Usage is overwhelmingly contemporary and very uncommon, chosen for a striking, global sound more than tradition. It works as a gender-neutral choice. Variants include Mabonaqein, Mabonaqayn, Mabonaqane, and Mabonaqaen; nicknames Mabo, Bona, Bo, and Qain are natural.
