About the Bono surname

Founders of Bono state of Akan people might originate from the town of Bona ,later renamed
Bonónia,founded by Boi people ,labelled as Celtic ,in Italia .

They may basically be descended from Boios ,son of Héraklés ,identical with A-Wa-ya-Ba ,
son of E-Wash-A-Shak-Kel-Ra ,one of the twelve ancestors of the twelve tribes of the Chosen People,
the Native Americans ,after whom the state of Oaxaca was named in the Holy Land of America .
Some of the tribe might have lived in Siberia too ,being the ancestors of those called Boya among the
Evenks ,whose language they speak .

They also might have been related to or allied with in some way ,yet in their original homeland or after
their deportation into Europe ,with Akani people at Ussuri river ,whose descendants are believed to live
among the Nanai .
The latter may be descended from A'aya-Nan-Na ,son of A-Wa-Hayat-Daha ,brother of Héraklés
( Hayawal-Ra-Kel ) .
They were called Huai son of Ju in the ancient Hia dynasty of China ,apparently .
Nanais of Akani origin may though be called so after the Akan term used in Bono for the king ,Nana .

Another ancient people nearby were the Natki ,who might have formed the population of the original Tekyi
state with their kings bearing the title Naa ,used among the Mossi mainly,,that is Naa-Tekyi .
Akan language may be related to the one spoken at Enisei / Yensa by the so called Ostyak people there .
They may be descended from Ak-Hat-Se-Ra-Yen-Na ,after whom too theey might have been given the
name Natki,that is Na-Hat-Ak-i .
The region of Connacht in Eire may be named after him ,while one of his descendants ,Cet ,may be the
forefather of Ket tribe of the Ostyak .
Ostyak is originally Oseti ,that is Iron too .

He was one of the sons of Ar-Ra'aya-Ban-Na ,yet another,the firstborn one of the twelve brothers ,
generic ancestor of Ban-Rai peoples ,called Arés by Greeks .
Levites distributed to his tribe have evolved Celtic-Latin languages ,so this may be the reason Boi ,
that is Bono in alliance with the Con-Nacht ,that is the Akan ,were affiliated as such .
Founder of the Bonio kingdom was Asaman ,ruling from about 92 to 62 BC ,equal to 1295 and 1325
according to the curretnlxy used old Spanish aera of begin in 1387 BC ,and his wife,Ameya Kesse .
She might have been from the town of Ameya in Eithiopia,or it might have been named after her .
So Asaman too might have been the member of a local dynasty there .
He might have ,for instance been a son of one of the kings of Aksum called Asa-Gada ,ruling in the years before .
Successors of the Boi of Bona in Abyssinia may be te Shabo people ,and those of Shewa ,
as A-Wa-ya-Ba was also called A-Wa-She-ya-Ba .
