Hello Cristine,
It is a french word and means " good morning".
It consists of 2 parts:
bon = good
jour = day
but together it means "good morning".
If you heard the word from an English native speaker, that is because some french words are widely used by all English speaking people, irrespective of nationality.
For some peppering their speech/text with French words is trying to look smarter ,for others it is just trendy or just to remind others that they haven't forgotten their school days if they happened to learn French at school ;)

Yeah exactly.it's a french word which is a formal one it simply means Good Morning .as the previous friend has already mentioned she is right...like hello, in english. .The only different between hello and bounjour is that we can say hello anytime of the day..but Bonjour is used only in the morning time.but i heard some people who used also in the evening.i don't want to enter to details
.it is almost of the time used to start a conversation .we can also say Salut it's a french word too has the same meaning as Bonjour...but there is a small different between them...i hope i answered as you want
