MEANING & HISTORY
What does Bonifacia mean?
Bonifacia is the feminine form of Bonifacio, which continues Latin Bonifatius. The older name combines bonus, good, with fatum, fate or destiny.
That gives a good-fortune interpretation rather than the often-confused good-deeds explanation based on a different Latin verb. The feminine ending does not change the two underlying elements.
