Bennjy is a modern English diminutive of Benjamin, pronounced BEN-jee.

Benjamin rose in medieval Europe and surged in English-speaking countries after the Reformation, sustaining steady popularity through the 20th–21st centuries. Diminutive variants include Benji, Benjie, Benny, Bennie, and Ben; related international forms of the root name are Binyamin (Hebrew), Beniamino (Italian), Benjamin (French/German/Scandinavian), Benjamín (Spanish, Icelandic), and Benjamim (Portuguese). Bennjy’s doubled-n and -jy ending mark it as a stylistic, contemporary spelling, chosen for distinctiveness and warmth. Not to be confused with Benedict-based names.
