Origin and meaning of Beniamino
Beniamino comes from the Hebrew Binyamin, 'son of the right hand'—the favoured one, the child of good fortune and favour. In the Bible he is the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel, ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Common in Italy, it has international counterparts in the English and German Benjamin and the Spanish Benjamín. Its affectionate meaning has always tied it to the idea of the dearest child, and its soft sound lends warmth and sweetness.
