Son of
A short form of Benjamin or Benedict, Ben is most commonly derived from the Hebrew 'Binyamin' meaning 'son of the right hand'. It can also stem from the Latin 'Benedictus' meaning 'blessed'. While often used as a nickname, it has a long history of standing alone as a friendly, approachable given name.
