Origin & history of Benjamin1
Hebrew roots
Benjamin comes from the Hebrew Binyamin meaning son of my right hand — the right hand being a symbol of strength and favour. In the Bible, Benjamin was the youngest and most beloved son of Jacob, whose older brothers sold Joseph into slavery. Benjamin Franklin, the American polymath who flew a kite in a thunderstorm, signed the Declaration of Independence and invented bifocals, gave the name towering intellectual prestige. Benjamin has climbed steadily in the US charts and now sits firmly in the top 10, beloved for its warm nickname Ben and its combination of biblical depth with easy modern feel.
