Bennjee is in Origin.

Bennjee is a modern respelling of Benji/Benjy, the familiar short form of Hebrew Benjamin (Binyamin), “son of the right hand” or “favored son.” It can also echo Benedict, from Latin Benedictus, “blessed,” though that link is rarer. The doubled n and final ee lend a playful, contemporary feel. Usage is very uncommon, appearing in English-speaking countries mainly since the late 20th century and chiefly in informal contexts.

Variants include Benji, Benjy, Benjie, Bennie, and Benny; formal anchors are Benjamin and Benedict. Meaning follows the parent names - either “son of the right hand” or “blessed” - with a friendly, approachable tone. Cultural touchpoints such as Faulkner’s Benjy Compson and the 1970s film dog Benji have kept the nickname familiar. Predominantly masculine but usable as unisex, Bennjee may invite spelling corrections yet signals distinctive style.
