Benett

Benett is a Hungarian form of Benedict, which derives from the Latin name Benedictus, meaning blessed. The Latin root benedicere combines bene, meaning well, and dicere, meaning to speak or to say. The name was widely adopted across medieval Europe largely through the influence of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the sixth-century founder of Western monasticism. Related forms include Benedek in Hungarian, Benedict in English, Benoit in French, and Benedikt in German and Scandinavian traditions.
