It's not an Irish version of Benjamin...it's a native Irish name.

Benjamin is Hebrew. I don't know how "Benjamin" is rendered in An Bíobla Naofa, but if anyone wants to look it up, that would be much better than using "Breandán."

An Sloinnteoir Gaeilge gives Beiniaimín for Benjamin. Brendán is not the same name at all

Makes as much sense as using Herbert for Jonathan

The Irish used "cheating frog handed frenchman" for thierry, so why not? maybe Benjamin wants to weigh in here?

Looks like your best bet would be Beiniaimín then

Biniáimin in the Irish bible.
