Bone & Bones: Different Origins?

From "The Surnames of Ireland," Sixth Edition, by Edward MacLysaght, Irish Academic Press, Dublin, Ireland, page 21:
"Bones: This is 'Mac Cnamhaigh' in Connacht sometimes English elsewhere. The rare Bone is for de Bohun. The Irish word for bone is 'cnamh'."
So, according to the research of Dr. MacLysaght, the surname 'Bone' and the surname 'Bones' are from different bloodlines.
