From Arabic بِينِيث (bīnīṯ, “bonito”). Other sources prefer a derivation from bonito (“pretty”, literally “the good one”), referring to the fish's appearance (see Etymology 1 above), despite the existence of a similar Medieval Latin form boniton, but this could be a simple coincidence or convenient availability bias.
