The transliterated form of Benjamin in Greek is Beniamin. You can see the Greek script here (see 958): http://www.htmlbible.com/sacrednamebiblecom/kjvstrongs/STRGRK9.htm

It depends on what (if anything) Ben is short for.

Benjamin is Hebrew for "son of my right hand" (ben = son, jamin = of my right hand). Benedict is Latin for "blessing." (bene = good, dict = to say / speak).

I haven't a clue what the Greek for "son of my right hand" is. But "blessing" shouldn't be as difficult. Eulalia is a female name in Greek meaning "to speak well," so perhaps there's a male form of the name. Eulalios? That's just a wild guess, though.

There's a feature on the home page here at BtN that allows you to search the database for names according to their meaning. I tried by was unsuccessful. Perhaps you will have better luck.

I suggest you find a Greek-language Bible, on-line or in a library, and look up the Joseph story. If you compare, verse by verse, with an English-language Bible, you'll find a verse with Benjamin in it, and voila!
