Wo “Benjamin” in der deutschen Häufigkeit sitzt
A misspelling magnet
The generator records 12 spelling variants around Benjamin (IPA [ˈbɛnjamiːn]), anoun. Corpus frequency is #4,593 among 5,818 “B” headwords. Dominant gloss: "jüngste Person innerhalb einer Gruppe".
Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Benjamin, with forms such as "bbenjamin", "bejnamin", and "benajmin". Each of these forms differs from the correct spelling by one small edit: a doubled letter, a dropped silent letter, or a substituted vowel. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct German form is Benjamin, spelled B-E-N-J-A-M-I-N.
