The Bunyan/Bunyon project was created July 1, 2007 to enable families with this surname from around the world to connect with each other and to see if they came from a common root. Since the name has both English/Norman (Good John and Bon Jon) and Welsh (Enion and Eignon)origins, it is quite possible that there is more than one progenitor of the name. As more people test, we'll be able to see if this is true.
