Bensin is Norwegian in Origin.
Bensin is a modern reshaping of the patronymic Benson/Bensen, built from Ben plus the son/-sen element and thus meaning son of Ben. Ben functions as a short form of the Hebrew Binyamin (Benjamin, son of the right hand/fortunate) and, in some lines, of Latin Benedictus (blessed), so Bensin carries echoes of both traditions. Phonetically, it sits between English -son names and Scandinavian -sen surnames, giving it a crisp, contemporary feel.
As a given name, Benson rose in the English-speaking world in the 19th and 20th centuries during the surname-as-first-name trend; Bensin appears sporadically in recent decades as a creative variant with a Nordic inflection. Note that in Scandinavian languages bensin is the everyday word for gasoline (from German Benzin), which can shape regional perceptions of the name. Variants and relatives include Benson, Bensen, Bensson, Bensyn; short forms Ben and Benny are common, and cognate anchors are Benjamin and Benedict.
Bensin is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 21 times, across 9 countries.
