Ben
The name Ben is of Hebrew origins. The meaning of the name Ben translates to ‘son of’. Historically, this name was used as a shorter form or nickname for the names Benjamin and Benedict but it has been gaining traction as a name independently. When taken from Benedict, Ben means ‘blessed’, ‘fortunate’ or ‘good speaker'. Ben is used most commonly in Scotland and Ireland but it is also popular in Austra and England. Considering Ben to be a diminutive of Benjamin, Ben can also mean ‘son of the south' or 'son of my right hand’. In the Holy Bible, Benjamin was the youngest of the twelve sons of Jacob and Rachel. The name is also known due to Big Ben, which is a clocktower and one of the top tourist attractions in London, England. It was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the clock tower. Ben is the name of the protagonist in the beloved children’s cartoon, 'Ben 10'. Popular cricketers Ben Stokes and Ben Cutting and the esteemed English actor Ben Kingsley are some famous figures with the name.
