[Daraleen Wade]

There is a Bunn Lake,Bunn Stream & Bunn community near Gränna.  What is the source of the name Bunn?
 
Daraleen

[Maud Svensson]

Bunnström was written Bunzrwm in 1410.  
 
rwm (rum) = 'open place'
 
Possibly, the first element of the village name can be derived from the ancient Swedish word budhn (kar) = English 'vat'.
