Sun boy
The term Sonnyboy (['sʌnibɔi] from the English sonny boy ; little son, boy) is a nickname of the word son (English "son"). Under Sunshine Boys is understood likeable, charming young men who radiate joy and serenity.
The incorrect spelling Sunnyboy , which can be found in places, may be due to the fact that a sunboy is ascribed a sunny disposition , which results in a wrong association with the English word sun for sun. The same pronunciation of the two words son and sun may also be responsible for this by no means rare false friend .
According to the currently valid official German spelling, only the spelling Sonnyboy is permitted.
