Binnaiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Binnaiah is a rare masculine given name of Hebrew origin, related to Benaiah/Benayahu (Hebrew: Benayahu), formed from the root b-n-h “to build” and the theophoric element Yah(u), a name of God. It conveys the meaning “Yahweh has built,” “built by the Lord,” or “the Lord establishes.” In the Hebrew Bible, the best-known bearer is Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a famed warrior of King David’s guard, which helped the name circulate in Jewish and later Christian traditions.

Binnaiah reflects a transliteration/orthographic variant that surfaces in some historical records and among communities where biblical names were adapted to local phonetics, including South Asian and African Christian usage. Closely related forms include Benaiah, Benayah, Benaya, Benayahu (Modern Hebrew: Benayahu), and Binniah; short forms include Ben and Niah. Though uncommon in English, the name’s meaning and scriptural resonance give it a dignified, steadfast character.
