Hello "bonjuorno" could be the dialect version of "buongiorno" that in Italian means "Good morning". "Juorno" is the written neapolitan version of "giorno".
Dear Lika, I found a very interesting article on line searching for the "Etimologia" of the word Buongiorno. The article is in Italian and is very long, I will send everybody the link. Buongiorno (Or Buon giorno) is coming from the XIV 'secolo' and is compound by Buon e Giorno. As an 'interiezione' it is like a good morning, but if it is a name is used when you meet someone or leave someone. We have to avoid the similarity with Buona Giornata which is only used when a person is going away.
It looks like a beautiful blend of French 'bonjour' and Italian 'buongiorno'. Buongiorno means 'good morning', it is a formal greeting when you approach someone.
Hi Ilka! It means Good day! or bouna Giornata as respectful phrase.
Buon giorno or Buongiorno, means good morning
Hi ilka, many people already explain you the meaning of bonjourno, Hear I'm teaching Arabic and Italian for forigners, I'm egyptian but I live in Italy from 40 years, IF YOU NEAD HELP CONTACT ME.
It's not bonjourno but buongiorno, and that means buon= good and giorno= day, together you can translate in good day. Did you know the meaning of "ciao"? It's coming from 4 century ago from Venice, the people say ""sciao" , means "slave" in Italian slang from Venice, and was a form of respect when you meet somebody to say that, like "I'm at your service" shorted.

It’s a polite way to say ‘ciao’, means hi also good day or good morning 😃
The word is spelled BUON GIORNO, sometimes written as a whole word other times in two separate words, like I've written it. Literally it means GOOD DAY. Some people - especially in the North of the Italy - use this greeting only in the morning, others - mainly in the South of Italy - use the greeting during the day until early evening, when it is replaced by BUONA SERA.
That’s good morning, you can use it till 4pm after this hour only buonasera can be used. Let’s pay attention in writing whit the correct word G not J
