Benedict is an English name of Latin origin. A biblical name, it is derived from the element 'benedictus' meaning blessed. Benedictus (Latin) is an old form of Benedict. The name was borne by the 6th-century Saint Benedict (480-550), the founder of Christian monastic communities and the Benedictine order.
The Benedictus, also known as the Canticle of Zechariah, is a fatherâs thanks for the gift of his son, John the Baptist. Some scholars say this canticle was added to the liturgy of the hours by St. Benedict of Nursia, who made the divine office a central part of Benedictine spirituality.
