Benjaminho
Benjaminho Origin and Meaning
Benjaminho is a masculine name that combines the Hebrew name Benjamin ('son of the right hand' or 'son of fortune') with the Portuguese diminutive suffix '-inho,' meaning 'little Benjamin.' This affectionate variation is primarily found in Portuguese-speaking countries, especially Brazil, where diminutive forms commonly express endearment. While standard Benjamin ranks consistently among popular biblical names worldwide, Benjaminho remains a specialized cultural variation with limited usage outside Portuguese-speaking communities. The name carries a warm, affectionate quality while maintaining connections to the biblical Benjamin, youngest son of Jacob. Its playful sound makes it appealing for parents seeking a familiar name with a distinctive cultural twist.
