Bennes is English in Origin.

Bennes is a rare given name and surname-derived choice with Central European and North Sea roots. In Czech and Slovak, the cognate Beneš developed in the Middle Ages from Latin Benedictus (“blessed”), later borne by families such as that of Czech statesman Edvard Beneš; Anglicized spellings include Benes and Benesh. In Dutch and Frisian contexts, Bennes can represent the genitive or patronymic “Ben’s” - from Ben/Benne, pet forms of Benedict or Bernard (Germanic ber/bern “bear” + hard “brave”). The Irish surname Bennis, often linked to Gaelic words for “blessed,” has also influenced the spelling.

Used occasionally as a first name in English-speaking countries since the 19th century via immigration and the fashion for surname-names, Bennes carries the core meaning “blessed,” with a secondary reading connected to “bear-brave.” Variants and related forms include Benes, Beneš, Bennis, Benesh, Bennet, Bennett, Benedict, Benno, and Benny.
