Bunuk

The name Bunuk is rooted in the Malay language, where 'bunuk' or 'anak bunuk' refers to something small or tiny, often used endearingly for children. It is a descriptive name, reflecting a common practice in many cultures of naming children based on their physical characteristics or the circumstances of their birth. While not widely documented in historical texts as a royal or noble name, its simplicity and direct meaning suggest it has been used in local communities for generations.
