Ben is the same in English and in Portuguese. The diminutive in question serves as a nickname -- along with Jamim and Mim -- for the masculine proper name Benjamim ("Benjamin") whose origins trace back to the ancient Hebrew בן ימים for "spirit man." The pronunciation respectively will be "beng" for the first-mentioned nickname, "zha-meeng" and "meeng" for the two subsequently listed diminutives, and "BENG-zha-meeng" for the proper name in Cariocan Brazilian and in continental Portuguese.
