Benny

Benny is often a nickname for Benjamin, a Hebrew name meaning "son of the right hand," signifying favor and strength, or for Benedict, from Latin "benedictus," meaning "blessed." The name has traveled from ancient Israel and Rome through European cultures, gaining popularity in America in the early to mid-20th century. It was propelled by figures like Benny Goodman, the "King of Swing," who made the cheerful sound of Benny synonymous with joyous music.
