The baby name Beno is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BEN-oh (/ˈbɛn.oʊ/).
Beno is Czech in Origin.
Beno has layered origins. In Hebrew, bĕnô (בְּנוֹ) literally means “his son,” and some English translations treat it as a personal name in 1 Chronicles 24:26–27; this reading gave the form a minor footing in Jewish naming, where it connotes lineage and filial bond.
In Central and Eastern Europe, Beno functions mainly as a short form of Benedict/Benedictus and its regional variants (Benedikt, Benedek), and occasionally of Benjamin. Through the Benedictus line it inherits the meaning “blessed.” Related forms and cognates include Benno (German), Beňo (Slovak), Benoît (French), Benito (Spanish/Italian), Benedek (Hungarian), and Benedikt (Slavic, Germanic); nicknames like Ben and Beni overlap. Usage clusters in Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, and German-speaking areas, with 19th–20th‑century records influenced by the cult of Saint Benedict and, in German lands, by Saint Benno of Meissen.
