Bensson Origin and Meaning

The name Bensson is a boy's name.

Bensson is an uncommon masculine name that originated as a surname meaning 'son of Benjamin' or 'son of Benedict.' This patronymic surname-turned-given name follows the pattern of names like Harrison or Jackson. With Scandinavian and English influences, Bensson carries a strong, traditional feel while remaining distinctive. The name has never been widely popular as a first name, making it an uncommon choice that still feels familiar due to its connection to the popular name Ben. The double 's' gives it a distinctive appearance compared to the more common spelling 'Benson.' Parents might choose this name to honor a relative named Benjamin while giving their child a less common variation.
