German
editEtymology
editFrom Middle High German Bonne, Bunne, from Old High German Bunna, from Proto-West Germanic *Bunnā, from Latin Bonna, short for Castra Bonnensia. The Germanic form shows its very old age in the replacement of -o- with -u-, which then also failed to undergo a-mutation because of the following nasal geminate. The modern German -o- is per se a regular development (cf. Sonne, Wonne), but was likely reinforced by readaptation to the Latin.
Another theory has it related to the tribe Eburones.[1] Folk etymology has proposed origin from dedication to Saint Boniface, but this is a crass anachronism. During the Middle Ages, Bonn was often called Verona in Latin texts.
