Archivesorigins of??
My last name is Bennett but I know that it is not of it’s English origin seeing as it was shortened from Benedetto when my ancestor people came to America. I have heard numerous origins for this name and I was wondering if anybody actually knew for sure, these being
Dutch
Czech
Danish
English
Irish
Italian
Norwegian
Scottish
Swedish
Welsh
Russian
Hungarian
Lithuanian
Polish
And the possibly oddest one I heard was that it was of Saudi Arabian origin, and that it was derived from some other name that I have lost over my time in searching for this. It would make sense seeing as I am part Saudi Arabian but I am also everything else on that list and a few others thrown in, I have so many different ethnicities that when asked I simply say European, Saudi Arabian, Mongolian and Canadian, then they ask me what countries from Europe and although it's not all of them I just say it because quite frankly it's easier. I would really just like to know where it is that my last name is from.
