From Benedict — Latin 'blessed'. Norman Bennet and English Bennett share feast-day christening roots.
The history of Bennett
St Benedict's Rule shaped European time — work, prayer, hospitality — and English godparents poured **Bennett** and **Benedict** into fonts from the 12th century onward. When hereditary surnames arrived, the blessed name stuck as proudly in moorland chapels as in cathedral closes.
