Etymology of BUNTY

The word "Bunty" is typically used as a colloquial term in various English-speaking regions to refer to a small or petite person, usually a child. Its etymology, however, is uncertain and there is no definite origin for the term.

One theory suggests that "Bunty" may have originated as a diminutive form of the name "Bun" or "Bunnie", which were common pet names for rabbits or bunnies. This usage could then be metaphorically extended to refer to small or cute individuals, similar to how "bunny" is associated with small and cute creatures.

Another theory suggests a possible connection to the Scottish term "buntin", which means a short or plump person. The Scottish word "buntin" is derived from "bunt", meaning to strike or collide gently, which could be metaphorically associated with a small or chubby person.
