Meaning and history
Boone is an English given name transferred from a surname. The surname is chiefly associated with the French word bon, meaning “good,” and entered English usage through Norman and later French-speaking families. Its strongest historical association is with American frontiersman Daniel Boone, although Boone was his surname rather than his given name. As a personal name it therefore carries a family-name and frontier-era association. American former Major League Baseball pitcher Boone Logan is a notable given-name bearer.
