Benyomin is Hebrew in Origin.

Benyomin is the Yiddish Ashkenazic form of the Hebrew Binyamin (בִּנְיָמִין), better known in English as Benjamin. The Hebrew elements ben “son” and yamin “right hand/south” yield the sense “son of the right hand,” connoting favor and strength; “son of the south” is a secondary reading tied to geography. In Genesis, Rachel dies naming her last son Ben‑Oni (“son of my sorrow”), which Jacob changes to Binyamin.

The form Benyomin reflects Yiddish vowel patterns and was common across Central and Eastern European Jewish communities, continuing today in Haredi and Hasidic circles. Bearers in English settings often alternate with Benjamin. Related variants include Binyamin (Modern Hebrew), Binyomin/Benyamin (other Yiddish transliterations), Benjamin (English, French, German, Scandinavian), Benjamín (Spanish), Benjamim (Portuguese), Beniamino (Italian), and Veniamin (Russian). Nicknames: Ben and Benny; in Hebrew contexts, Bini/Biny and Bibi.
