Beniamin

Beniamin represents an alternative spelling of Benjamin, one of the most enduring biblical names in history. Deriving from Hebrew origins, it means 'son of the right hand' or 'son of the south,' as it was the name given to the youngest son of Jacob in the Old Testament. This particular spelling variation reflects Eastern European influences, particularly Polish, Romanian, and other Slavic languages where the 'i' replaces the 'j' found in the more common Western spelling. Beniamin maintains the same warm, classic appeal of Benjamin while offering a distinctive international flair. Though relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, it provides a subtle way to honor Eastern European heritage while using a name with deep historical resonance.

Pronounced ben-yah-MEEN.

As of October 2026, Beniamin ranked #8069 in US births in 2006 SSA, peaked at #7642 in 1998.
