Origin:Thai
Other Origin(s):African
Meaning:To have merit; God gave me
Boon Mee is a gender-neutral name of Thai origin. If you wish to bless baby with good fortune, calling them Boon Mee could be an amazing start. Deriving from the Thai elements บุญ, meaning “merit,” and มี, meaning “to have” or “possess,” Boon Mee means “to have merit,” a phrase which typically describes worthiness of praise or reward. With baby’s many talents and skills, they’ll have plenty of opportunities to receive praise and reap the benefits of their successes! Boon Mee could also be a respelling of Bunmi, a Yoruba name meaning “God gave me.” As they grow up, little Boon Mee will no doubt have luck and faith on their side.
