Banjiman is in Origin.

Banjiman is a rare modern variant of Benjamin, ultimately from Hebrew Binyamin, formed from ben “son” and yamin “right hand/south,” often interpreted as “son of the right hand” or “favored son.” The name entered widespread use via the biblical Benjamin, youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, and has been borne across Jewish and Christian communities from late antiquity through medieval Europe to the present, gaining strong popularity in English-speaking countries in the 18th–21st centuries.

Spelling reflects its global spread: Benjamin (English), Benjamín (Spanish), Benjamim (Portuguese), Beniamino (Italian), Beniamin (Romanian/Polish), Benjámin (Hungarian), Benjamijn (Dutch), Binyamin (Hebrew), and Benyamin (Arabic, Turkish, Indonesian). Banjiman likely arises as a phonetic or transliteration-led respelling (in systems where j represents a y sound) and remains uncommon. Familiar nicknames - Ben, Benny, Benji, and Jamin - work seamlessly, and the feminine Benjamina exists. Banjiman preserves the classic meaning while offering a distinctive, contemporary twist.
