The Quick Answer

BFA means "Best Friends Always."

More Observations...

The abbreviation BFA is typically used as a term of endearment between young girls. BFA implies that the sender considers the recipient to be one of their most special friends. The use of BFA does not exclude the possibility that the sender has other friends that are considered equally special. A best friend is someone:

• You really like.
• You trust completely.
• You share secrets with.
• You enjoy spending time with.
• You can rely on when you need help.
• You cannot imagine life without.

A best friend can be a partner. It is not usually a blood family member. (However, some people often consider one of their parents or siblings to be a best friend.) Of note, BFA also stands for "Bachelor of Fine Arts". This is the standard degree awarded for an undergraduate course or program in the visual or performing arts.
