Bena
Meaning of Bena
Bena is a feminine given name of diverse etymological provenance, most frequently associated with the Hebrew root binah (בִּינָה), denoting “understanding” or “insight.” It also finds a parallel form in South Asian onomastics—Beena—where it references the classical lute and thus conveys an association with musicality. Registered intermittently in the United States Social Security Administration’s data since the late nineteenth century, its popularity has consistently remained modest, with ranking fluctuations between approximately the 600th and 950th positions; in 2023, ten newborn girls received the name, positioning it at rank 948. Pronounced BEE-nuh (/ˈbiːnə/), Bena presents a concise phonetic profile and an understated elegance that appeals to parents seeking a rare yet semantically resonant choice.
