Bonheur is a French surname derived from the Old French phrase bonne heure, meaning "good time" or "lucky." Likely originating as a nickname for a fortunate or cheerful person, it reflects a positive trait or circumstance. The name is primarily found in France, especially in regions like Normandy, and has also spread to former French colonies, including Haiti and Réunion, through migration.
