Thinking about the name
Benson
English origin
“A patronymic surname meaning 'son of Ben,' historically used to denote genealogical connection but now established as a strong, androgynous given name. Benson carries understated sophistication, professional credibility, and vintage charm. It's the kind of name that works equally well on a child and a CEO.”
