Meaning and background
The story behind Bengi
Bengi has a documented Turkish word history: the adjective refers to what is eternal or lasting, with roots in Old Turkic bengü or mengü. Turkish usage is a possible explanation of the name, but similar spellings can have other language backgrounds. It should not automatically be treated as a form of Benji, which has a separate English nickname history.
