About the name Bennett

Bennett is what happened when medieval English speakers wore Benedictus down to something they could say quickly. Its recent surge owes as much to the fashion for surname-style names as to any wish for a Benjamin alternative, though it conveniently serves as both.

Bennett is a boy name of English (from Latin) origin, pronounced BEN-it. On the NameRarity scale it scores 38 out of 100, which places it in the uncommon band — familiar to everyone, yet rarely duplicated in the same room. Its strongest period was the steadily rising.
