Bengaman is in Origin.

Bengaman is an uncommon modern given name, most plausibly a creative offshoot of Benjamin. Benjamin derives from Hebrew Binyamin, combining ben "son" and yamin "right hand" or "south," yielding the sense "favored son" or "son of the right hand." The inserted g and the terminal -man may reflect cross-influence from English surname formations in -man/-mann or from Scandinavian Bengt (a form of Benedict), though Bengaman itself is not traditional in those languages.

Usage is sparse and recent, appearing occasionally in English-speaking countries as a distinctive twist on familiar Ben names. Variants and near-forms include Bengamon, Bengiman, and Bengemann; related standards are Benjamin, Binyamin, and Italian Beniamino. Common nicknames mirror the base: Ben, Benny, or Benji. Parents choosing Bengaman typically want the biblical meaning attached to Benjamin while favoring a rarer, surname-like silhouette and modern sound.
