Question: what is the biblical meaning of the name benjamin?
Answer: Benjamin is a popular given name for males, derived from Hebrew בִּנְיָמִין, Binyāmīn, translating as "Son of my right [hand]", though in the Samaritan Pentateuch, the name appears as "Binyaamem" "Son of my days". Benjamin is often shortened to Ben, sometimes to Benny, or Benji. It is also a patronymic surname.
