The surname Bennie or Binnie has its origins in Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Beineadha or Mac Beineadha, which means "son of Beineadh." The prefix "Ó" denotes "descendant" or "grandson," while "Mac" signifies "son." The name Beineadh is thought to have derived from the Old Irish word "beine," meaning "melody" or "happiness." During the medieval period, Ireland experienced a significant influx of Scots, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries. As a result, Scottish surnames like Bennie or Binnie were introduced to Ireland. Many Scots settled in Northern Ireland, particularly in counties Antrim and Down, which led to the spread of the name in these regions. Over time, the spelling of the surname may have changed due to various factors, including local dialects and variations in pronunciation. This could explain the slight variations in spelling between Bennie and Binnie. Despite its Scottish roots, the surname Bennie or Binnie is now predominantly found in Ireland, and individuals with this surname can be traced back to Irish ancestry. Today, many people with the surname Bennie or Binnie can still be found in Northern Ireland, reflecting the historical connections between Ireland and Scotland.
