Benjamin is a popular given name for males, derived from Hebrew בנימין translating as "son of my right ()", though in the Samaritan Pentateuch, the name appears as ࠁࠍࠉࠌࠉࠌ, "Binyaamem" 'Son of my days'. It is often shortened to ''Ben'', and sometimes to ''Benny'', or ''Benjy''. Benjamin is also a patronymic surname. Like many biblical names, it is popular in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths alike, having many variant forms in other languages. The "Benjamin of the family" is a phrase used in several languages to refer to the youngest son - especially when he is much younger than his brothers; sometimes the name is chosen for a son born to mature parents unlikely to have more children, especially if he has several older siblings. Both of these usages derive from the biblical son of Jacob of that name, who occupied that position in his family. ==Given name== People with the name Benjamin or its variant spellings include: *Patriarch Benjamin I, patriarch of Constantinople *Benjamin II (1818–1864), the pen name of a Romanian traveler *Pope Benjamin II of Alexandria (1327–1339), Coptic Pope *Benjamin (Khazar), ruler of the late ninth and early tenth centuries CE *Saint Benjamin (disambiguation), multiple people *Ben Affleck (b. 1972), American film screenwriter, director and actor *Benjamin Agosto (b. 1982), American figure skater *Ben Barnes (actor) (b. 1981), British actor, Prince Caspian *Ben Bernanke (b. 1953), former Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve *Benjamin Biolay (b. 1973), French singer, songwriter, producer and actor *Benjamin Britten (1913–1976), British composer *Benjamin Burnley (b. 1978) Lead singer of American rock band Breaking Benjamin *Benjamin Constant (1767-1830), Swiss-born French politician *Benjamin Constant (Brazil) (1836–1891), Brazilian general and politician *Benjamin Cutting (born 1987), Australian cricketer *Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881), a 19th Century Prime Minister of the United Kingdom *Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790), one of the Founding Fathers of the United States *Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901), 23rd President of the United States *Ben Hogan (1912–1997), American professional golfer *Benjamin Kallos (b. 1981), American lawyer and politician *Benjamin Kimutai (b. 1971), Kenyan long-distance runner *Benjamin Leiner (Benny Leonard; "The Ghetto Wizard"; 1896-1947), American world champion lightweight Hall of Fame boxer *Benjamin Luxon (b. 1937), British baritone singer *Benjamin McKenzie (b. 1978), American actor *Benjamin Milam Teekell (1867-1942), American politician *Benjamin Mwangata (b. 1966), Tanzanian boxer *Benjamin Netanyahu (b. 1949) Israeli Prime Minister *Benjamin Nolot, American documentary filmmaker *Benjamin Okolski, American figure skater *Benjamin of Tudela, 12th century Spanish rabbi *Benjamin Perrin, Canadian professor *Benjamin Wade (1800–1878), American lawyer and United States Senator *Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897-1941), American linguist, known for contributing to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis *Benjamin Yusupov (b. 1962), Israelian classical composer, conductor and pianist *Benjamin Zephaniah, poet and writer *Benjamin Zhang Bin, mainland Chinese Manhua artist and illustrator *Benjamin Smoke, Canadian actor 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Benjamin (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
