Blessed or son of the right hand
Benni is a diminutive form often derived from Benedicta, meaning 'blessed', or Benjamina, meaning 'son of the right hand'. While traditionally a masculine nickname, it has emerged as a spirited, gender-neutral choice for girls, following the trend of 'boyish' nicknames for daughters.
