Benas is Lithuanian in Origin.
Benas is a Lithuanian masculine given name, a short form that has become independent. It derives chiefly from two Lithuanian long forms: Benediktas (from Latin Benedictus, meaning blessed) and Beniaminas (from Hebrew Binyamin, meaning son of the right hand or favored son). The -as ending marks the standard Lithuanian masculine nominative, anchoring the name in local phonology.
Used throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Benas aligns with the Lithuanian taste for concise, international-sounding names. It appears in civil records and in arts and sports, reinforcing its contemporary feel. Variants and cognates include Ben and Benny; Benedict, Benedikt, Benediktas; and Benjamin, Binyamin, Beniamin, Beniaminas. As a diminutive, Benas may still function as a pet form within families, but many parents register it as the formal given name. In many calendars it shares name days with Benedict or Benjamin.
