Beneit

Beneit is a proper name that may refer to a surname or, less commonly, toponyms in Catalan-speaking regions. In onomastic terms, Beneit is generally regarded as a Catalan surname that has arisen as a patronymic form from Benet, the Catalan variant of Benedictus, meaning blessed.

As a surname, Beneit is relatively rare and is most often found among families in Catalan-speaking areas such as Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands. Variants and related forms may occur in historical records and modern genealogical sources, reflecting shifts in spelling or regional pronunciation. The name is typically passed patrilineally, though contemporary records may vary in documentation.

Geographically, Beneit is not associated with a widely recognized city or region. When it appears in toponymy, it is usually in the form of local estate names, street names, or small rural identifiers linked to a family bearing the surname, rather than representing a distinct modern municipality.

Notable individuals bearing the name Beneit are not widely documented in major reference works. As a result, the surname is regarded as uncommon, with no single widely cited person dominating contemporary or historical recognition.

In related usage, Beneït (with a diaeresis in Catalan orthography) may appear as a variant in some records, reflecting local spelling conventions.
