Subject: Benedict
Author: Matthew   (guest, 63.229.23.214)

I like the name Benedict (also the name of my patron Saint), and I usually see its meaning given as "blessed."
However, the Latin components of the name seem to imply to me a possible meaning of "good speech" (Bene Dictus).
Am I off the mark here?
