[Surname] Re: Bondancer
I cannot bet on it but it seems to be that the surname means "good dancer" (Bon = Good in many latin languages and "dancer" can mean dancer in at least one latin language; "dancer" in Spanish is "danzarin", "dance" is "danza", and other latin languages have similiar ortography for equivalent words... I bet bon-dancer is pronounced bond-dans-er or bond-dan-ser (where "ser" is pronounced like the "ser" in "serum")

I don't think "Bondancer" is a surname itself. I have not found anyone with this surname, in present time or from past records. There are an extremely few people with the surname Bondance, without the "r". I did find the surname Bundance, perhaps a variant.
