Benson は Ben + son と分け、「Ben の息子」に由来する姓と覚えます。Jackson や Johnson と同じ父称姓の型です。現在は姓だけでなく男性名にもなり、人名なので通常 Benson と大文字で表記します。Benson called ... や I saw Benson ... のような人を指す位置で確認しましょう。
Divide Benson into Ben and son. Historically, the name follows the familiar English surname pattern meaning “son of Ben,” like Johnson or Jackson. Ben may be a shortened form of Benjamin or Benedict, although the modern bearer’s own name does not literally describe his father. Benson can now function either as a surname or as a masculine given name. Remember to capitalize it and notice how it replaces a person’s name in ordinary patterns such as “Benson called me,” “I saw Benson,” and “Benson prepared a presentation.”
