Bengi is Turkish in Origin.

Bengi is a Turkish given name from Old Turkic bengü, meaning eternal, everlasting, or immortal. The term appears in the Orkhon inscriptions of the 8th century, famously in phrases like bengü taş (eternal stone), and survived in later Turkish as a poetic adjective. As a name, Bengi carries a sense of permanence and enduring affection.

Adopted as a given name mainly in the 20th century amid interest in native Turkic roots, Bengi is used for both sexes but is today more often feminine in Turkey. The close variant Bengü preserves the original vowel; in international settings the diacriticless Bengi prevails. Related compounds include Bengisu (eternal water) and Bengialp (eternal hero), and the name can also function as a short form of Bengisu. Rare outside Turkish-speaking communities, Bengi remains concise, modern-sounding, and richly traditional in meaning.
