Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Poľská podoba Onufry pochádza cez latinské Onuphrius a starogrécke Onouphrios zo staroegyptského mena Wenennefer (wnn-nfr), ktoré znamenalo „ten, ktorý je stále dobrý“ alebo „dokonalý“. Pôvodne išlo aj o epiteton boha Usira. Meno sa v kresťanskom prostredí rozšírilo najmä vďaka úcte k svätému Onufriovi Veľkému, egyptskému pustovníkovi zo 4. alebo 5. storočia.
