Meaning: Blessed; The one who says the good

With so many contenders for baby’s new name, the knives are certainly out! But, when you hear how good this name is, you will suspect foul play. Benoit is a distinctive masculine name of Latin origin, meaning “blessed” and “the one who says the good.” This enduringly popular name has been around for years, and has recently found a resurgence of love due to the full–of-Southern-charm Benoit Blanc in the Knive’s Out franchise. Your little detective can follow in these footsteps or follow their own path completely but, no matter what, they are sure to be blessed in all they do.
