The Meaning Behind My Middle Name:

Bennie

Names carry history, meaning, and stories that stretch far beyond the letters that form them. My middle name, Bennie, is more than just a name—it represents a legacy of family, connection, and strength.

A Name Rooted in Building and Bonding

Bennie, derived from Benjamin, often means “son of the right hand” or “blessed.” But in my life, Bennie stands for something deeper: a man who helped build a big family and connect people. It represents someone who doesn’t just exist within a family but actively shapes it—laying the foundation for relationships, guiding others, and keeping the bonds strong even when time and distance threaten to weaken them.

A Name That Mirrors Legacy

When I think about the name Bennie, I see a man who is the glue of a household, the quiet architect of unity. He doesn’t just watch family gatherings—he makes them happen. He ensures traditions are passed down, stories are told, and that no one ever feels like an outsider.

Maybe this is why I feel a natural pull toward maintaining connections. Even in times of personal solitude, I recognize the value of bringing people together. A big family isn’t just about numbers; it’s about shared experiences, mutual support, and the strength that comes from knowing you’re never alone.

Living Up to Bennie

A name isn’t just something we inherit; it’s something we live up to. Every day, I try to discover , understand more of  and embody what Bennie means to me. Whether it’s checking in on loved ones, fostering friendships, or keeping memories alive, I aim to be the kind of person my name represents.

Bennie isn’t just my middle name—it’s a symbol of the builder, the connector, and the unifier that I strive to be. And if I do it right, my name won’t just tell a story about me, but about the family and community I’ve helped strengthen along the way.

Until next time…
