idk I think it means safety in Arabic or something (I'm not Arab tho)
I know a lot of Turks & they tell me my name is pretty common where they're from, so maybe it means something Turkish too ;o

Benjamin \b(e)-nja-min, ben-jamin\ as a boy's name is pronounced BEN-ja-men. It is of Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Benjamin is "son of the right hand; son of the south; son of my old age". Biblical: Benyamin was the 12th, youngest and most beloved son of the patriarch Jacob and Rachel, and was originally named Benoni. In the Middle Ages, it was often given to sons whose mothers had died in childbirth, though it has no such connotations today. Brought into use by the Puritans until the end of the 19th century. After several decades of disuse, came back to great popularity by the 1970s.

I think my name (Kyle) is Scottish for a gap of land with water running in between joining two larger bodies of water.
My entire name is Scottish.
Some Irish names for me are really hard to pronounce, I know Caoimhe is pronounced Kee-Va but if I'm reading it like off a list I always say it different, like Kai- O - Me. I didn't know that Niamh was pronounced Neev until recently, until then I was saying Naomi :joker: idk why I do this though.

Eoin is also an Irish name right? If I didn't know it I'd probably say it like:

Because Irish is a different language, the pronunciation doesn't seem to make sense when you're using the English language as your base to work from. Like the reason Niamh is pronounced Neeve is because in the Irish alphabet there is no letter V so MH together or BH together make a V sound
