Ben is a classic and widely beloved boys name, primarily originating from Hebrew. It is most commonly a short form of Benjamin, which means son of the right hand or son of the south. It can also be a diminutive of Benedict (from Latin, meaning blessed) or Bennett. Ben is a popular choice in many Western countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, often used as a standalone name rather than just a nickname. Famous bearers include American actor Ben Affleck, comedian Ben Stiller, and American Founding Father Ben Franklin.
