Benjamine

Benjamine Origin and Meaning

The name Benjamine is a boy's name.

Benjamine is a masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Benjamin, which comes from Hebrew origins meaning 'son of the right hand' or 'son of the south.' The additional 'e' at the end gives this version a slight French influence in its appearance, though the pronunciation typically remains the same as the traditional spelling. Benjamin appears in the Bible as the youngest son of Jacob and was the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. While the standard spelling Benjamin has consistently ranked among popular boys' names for generations, Benjamine offers a more uncommon alternative that maintains the same rich historical and biblical connections. The name carries connotations of blessing and favoritism from its biblical context, as Benjamin was particularly beloved by his father.
