Meaning: Blessed

Baby Benedict will undoubtedly be a blessing in your life! This Latin boy’s name dates all the way back to the sixth century when St. Benedict founded the Benedictine order of monks. While the name has held prominence within the Catholic religion, it is just as fitting for a little one raised outside of the faith. Benedict has a somewhat classic feel to it, making it a perfect choice for a charming bundle of joy. With the likes of Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch or the fictional Benedict Bridgerton amongst those who share the moniker, your little one will be in brilliant company.
