I find it odd that Benedict was lumped with Benjamin. They might sound similar and share the nickname “Ben,” but the two names have totally different origins: Benjamin is derived from a Hebrew name meaning either “son of the right hand” or “son of the south,” while Benedict comes from the Latin name Benedictus, meaning “blessed.”
