Binyomin

Binyomin Origin and Meaning

The name Binyomin is a boy's name.

Binyomin is a variant transliteration of Benjamin, a name with ancient Hebrew origins meaning 'son of the right hand' or 'son of the south.' This specific spelling reflects the Yiddish or modern Hebrew pronunciation used primarily in Jewish communities, particularly among Orthodox or Hasidic families. The name carries significant biblical importance as Benjamin was the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel in the Torah/Old Testament. Binyomin preserves the traditional pronunciation more accurately than the anglicized 'Benjamin.' While not common in mainstream American naming, it remains meaningful within Jewish communities where traditional religious naming practices are observed. The name connects a child to rich religious heritage and history spanning thousands of years.
