Bennyciah is in Origin.

Bennyciah is a modern English coinage likely blending Benny - an affectionate form of Benjamin, from Hebrew Binyamin “son of the right hand” or “favored son” - with Benicia, a Spanish feminine name connected to the Latin root bene “good, well,” while its -iah ending echoes Hebrew theophoric names invoking Yah. As a creative fusion rather than a traditional theonym, it is often interpreted as “favored and good,” or more devotionally as “goodness of God” or “blessed favored one.”

Documented only in contemporary, very rare usage, Bennyciah fits current trends for elaborated -iah endings and cross-linguistic blends. Variant spellings include Benyciah, Beniciah, and Bennyshia; related forms and inspirations include Benicia, Benicio, Benjamin, and the -iah set (Josiah, Nehemiah). Nicknames range from Benny and Benni to Cia and Nia. Pronunciations vary regionally, commonly beh-NEE-see-uh or beh-NEE-syah. Its unusual structure gives parents a name that feels both warmly familiar and distinctively devotional.
