Boniface Name meanings & History
The name Boniface is derived from the Latin words "bonus" which means good, and "facere" which means to do or to make. Therefore, the name Boniface translates to "one who does good.". From the Late Latin name Bonifatius, which meant "good fate" from bonum "good" and fatum "fate". This was the name of nine popes and also several saints, including an 8th-century Anglo-Saxon missionary to Germany (originally named Winfrið) who is now regarded as the patron saint of that country.
