English (Norfolk and Essex): possibly a nickname from a Middle English adjective with the suffix -i derived from dialect bane ‘lithe, nimble; clever’ (from Scandinavian beinn ‘straight’). The base-word bane is attested in East Anglia and northwestern England. Reaney's derivation from an unrecorded (northern) Middle English bani ‘bony’ is untenable.
Americanized form of Swiss German Bähni or Bäni: from a pet form of the personal name Bernhard .
French: derivative of Bane ‘hamper, large basket’.
