what does it mean

In fact the name is an homage to the classic rock and roll song, Boney Maroni which was a hit for several classic acts including Showaddywaddy who were very popular in the band's (Boney M's) native Germany.
Glad to be of assistance.

Apparently Boney M were named after a hero of an Australian TV Series.

Perhaps 'M' was Boney?

I can't answer that, but I believe there is a website that gives you the origins of band names.

I bet it has something to do with those tight pants the singer used to wear...
