Benjee is in Origin.

Benjee is a modern phonetic spelling of Benji/Benjie, the familiar diminutive of Benjamin. Through Benjamin, the name ultimately derives from Hebrew Binyamin, interpreted as "son of the right hand" or "favored son," sometimes "southern son." Pronounced BEN-jee, it carries the affectionate, playful tone of English hypocoristics while preserving Benjamin's venerable biblical resonance as the name of Jacob's youngest son.

Diminutives of Benjamin have circulated in English since at least the 18th and 19th centuries; Benjy and Benjie appear in period records and literature, and the 1974 film Benji popularized the pet form in the U.S. Benjee, however, is a rare contemporary respelling that suits modern tastes for distinctive, phonetic variants. Close relatives include Benji, Benjie, Benjy, Bengie, Benny, and Ben; it can also function as a nickname for Benedict or Bennett (from Latin Benedictus, "blessed"). Usage remains uncommon in official statistics, lending Benjee an offbeat yet familiar feel.
