Bentin is Dutch in Origin.
Bentin is an uncommon masculine given name drawn from surname traditions. In English, it aligns with Benton, from Old English beonet “bent grass” + tun “enclosure, settlement,” giving the sense “grassy town” or “dweller by the bent-grass farm.” In the Low Countries it echoes the Dutch noble surname Bentinck, whose -ink/-in suffix marks “belonging to” or “estate of,” likely built on a short personal name.
Usage is rare as a first name, seen from the 19th century onward as a transferred surname in the English-speaking world; it remains infrequent. Variants include Benton, Benten, Bentinck, and Bentink; short forms Ben and Benny. Related, but etymologically distinct, are Benedict and Bennett. Parents may choose Bentin for its crisp sound and understated nature/place-name resonance.
