Bengamen is English in Origin.

Bengamen is a rare modern variant of Benjamin, ultimately from the Hebrew Binyamin, composed of ben, meaning son, and yamin, meaning right hand or south, interpreted as son of the right hand, favored son, or son of the south. The biblical Benjamin, youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, anchored the name’s widespread adoption across Jewish, Christian, and later Muslim communities.

While Bengamen itself is sparsely attested and chiefly appears as a creative respelling or phonetic transfer where the English j is rendered with a hard g in some languages, it keeps the same meaning and associations as Benjamin. Related forms include Benjamin (English/French), Benjamín (Spanish), Beniamin (Polish/Romanian), Binyamin (Hebrew), and Benjamen/Banjamin as alternate spellings; common nicknames are Ben, Benny, Benji, and Jamin. In historical use, the Benjamin family of names gained medieval currency, saw strong Reformation and Puritan revival, and remains steadily popular worldwide.
