The bible does not explain the etymology for Benjamin's name, Modern scholars have proposed "son of the south / right" is a reference to the tribe being subordinate to the more dominant tribe of Ephraim. Some more medieval commentators have two explanations, "Son of the south", with south derived from the word for the right hand side, referring to the birth of Benjamin in Canaan, as compared with the birth of all the other sons of Jacob in Aram. Another possible explanation is that it means "son of days", meaning a son born in Jacob's old age.
