I really like this name. It has the trendy -iah ending like Josiah etc., as well as great nickname potential (Ben, Benny). The Naya ending could sound feminine in some circles, but I don’t think that makes it a feminine name.
The name Benaiah was given to 121 boys born in the US in 2015.
This name was given to 94 boys in America in 2014.
It is pronounced in the original Hebrew as Benoyohu [Ashkenazi pronunciation] or Benayahu [Sefardi pronunciation].
Though the translation given for this name is a correct translation.
The normal translation for this name is 'son of G-d'.This is because in Hebrew the words for 'son' ['ben'] and 'builder' ['bone'] are very similar due to the concept that the children are the builders of the future.
LOVE this name.
This name is pronounced ben-ie-ah in Hebrew.
