Bunty

English and Scottish nickname
"lamb or plump"

Bunty Origin and Meaning

The name Bunty is a girl's name meaning "lamb or plump".

A bouncy English and Scottish nickname name, which originally started out as a term of endearment, either meaning "lamb" or (more probably) "plump". It has been in rare but regular use as a full name in Britain since at least the early 20th century, thanks in part to the popular comic play "Bunty Pulls The Strings" (1910). Bunty is also sometimes encountered as a pet name for Elizabeth or other unrelated names.
