[Surname] Bunting...
bunting [? < Middle English "bunten", sift] 1. a thin cloth for making flags, etc. 2. flags. 3. a soft, warm, baby's garment in the form of a hooded blanket.
bunting [< Old French "bon", good] a small bird of the finch family.

This was my grampa's surname. We're a conglomeration of European origin. Any ideas?

Bunting: good little pet - a term of endearment for a little child. But this name has several origins. See http://www.goldwing-world.com/bunton_name.htm
