Around the world, Benzion (Benzion , בן-ציון , Бенцион ) is a rare primarily masculine, but very seldom female given name. The forename Benzion is characteristic of Israel, where it is quite a rare primarily male, but scarcely feminine name, the United States, where it is a very rare male name, and Russia. Much less frequently, Benzion is the last name as well as the forename.
Benzion is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Benya Krik , the character from Isaak Babel's The Odessa Tales.
