Meaning & Origin

Bengy is a boy's baby name, an affectionate variant spelling of Benny or Benji, the popular nickname for Benjamin — one of the most enduring names in the Hebrew tradition, meaning 'son of the right hand' or 'son of the south.'

Benjamin has never gone out of style, ranking consistently in the U.S. top 10, and Bengy captures all the warmth of its nickname form with a slightly more distinctive spelling. It's the kind of name that feels immediately friendly — a grown-up name that never loses its playful heart.
