Benjamin (name)
Benjamin is a common given name for males, derived from Hebrew בִּנְיָמִין, Binyāmīn, translating as 'son of the right [hand]' in both Hebrew and Arabic languages, although in the Samaritan Pentateuch the name appears as Binyaamem: 'son of my days'. Benjamin is often shortened to Ben, and sometimes to Benny, Benito, Benjy, Benji, etc.
