Villa Debono in Lija, Malta

De Bono or Debono is a surname of Italian origin, rooted from the Latin word "Bonus" meaning "Good".[1] It originated in Northern Italy and its first known documentation appears in Parma in the thirteenth centaury, where it is recorded in deeds of property sale.[2]

There are multiple variations of the surname, namely "Di Bono", "Del Bono", "Buono", "Buonomo", but all trace back to a common origin.[3][4][5][6]

The abbreviation of De Bono from its original form into Debono (no spacing) is common in the Maltese islands. It could be found in its original form in Maltese records as early as 1420.[7]
