What is the meaning of the name Benonee ?

Benonee is in Origin.

Benonee is a rare modern elaboration of the biblical Hebrew name Benoni (ben-oni). In Hebrew, ben means “son,” while ’oni can denote “sorrow, affliction,” and in some readings “vigor/strength,” yielding interpretations such as “son of my sorrow” or “son of my strength.” In Genesis 35:18, Rachel names her dying son Ben-oni; Jacob immediately renames him Binyamin (Benjamin), “son of the right hand/favor,” a shift that has long tempered the name’s mournful nuance.

As a given name, Benonee surfaces as an Anglicized elaboration shaped by Benoni and by the Romanian masculine name Benone (phonetically related). Attested variants include Benoni, Benone, the Spanish biblical transcription Benoní, and diminutives Ben, Benny, and Noni. Usage remains rare, appealing to parents who want a distinctive biblical link; many now read it in the more optimistic Benjamin sense of favor, strength, and right-hand support.
