Originally a French name, Bennett made its way mysteriously into Wales during the Renaissance. It remains a rather common name in Wales, as well as in the state of Utah, where it is a common surname and often memorialized as a given name. From Benedictus (Latin: good speaker), though it is now commonly defined as meaning "small beloved" or "little beloved."

The only Bennett I have ever met was female. Personally, I like it for both genders.

If I wanted to use the nickname Ben for a future son, I'd choose this name over Benjamin. This name is relatively uncommon and is easy to say.
