(×‘Ö´Ö¼× Ö°×™Ö¸×žÖ´×™×Ÿ) Hebrew name BINYAMIN means "son of the right hand." In the bible, this is the name of several characters, including one of the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel, the youngest of Jacob's twelve sons. His original name was Benoni, given to him by his mother who died giving birth to him. Not wanting his son to bear such an ill-omened name, Jacob changed it to Binyamin (Benjamin), a more fortunate name.Â
