Bendik is Norwegian in Origin.
Bendik is the standard Norwegian form of Benedikt, a name deriving from Latin Benedictus, “blessed,” built from bene “well” and dictus “spoken/said.” Through Christianization and the cult of St. Benedict of Nursia, the name spread widely in medieval Europe and entered Scandinavia via church records and baptismal practice.
Within Norway, Bendik appears in medieval sources and lives on in the famed ballad “Bendik og Årolilja,” which kept the name culturally visible. Today it remains a familiar, traditional choice without being overly common. Close variants include Benedikt (Norwegian, German, Icelandic, Czech, Slovak), Benedict (English), Benoît (French), Benito (Spanish), Benedetto (Italian), Benedito (Portuguese), Benedykt (Polish), Benedek (Hungarian), Benet (Catalan), and Bendix (Danish/Low German). Diminutive and short forms include Ben and Benny; Norwegian usage usually keeps Bendik intact, though Ben is sometimes used in international contexts.
