Boonzaier
Boonzaier is the most commonly spelling for the Dutch and Afrikaans surname often associated with the arts.
Other versions include: Boonzaayer and Boonzaaier.
The variations are used somewhat cavalierly by F.C.L. Bosman (1928 and 1980), who also often tends to refer to people by their surnames alone.
