Best Answer

There was no name change. But if there had been, it most likely would have

taken place in exactly the opposite direction.

You see, PM Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, on October 21, 1949 ...

the first prime minister of Israel to have been born there after the state was

founded. Like most other Israeli newborns, he was given a Hebrew name ...

'Binyamin', the biblical Hebrew name which is translated as "Benjamin" in

English biblical translations.

So, when he's in his native country, he's called by his given name ... Binyamin ...

and often "Bibi" in the press and in the street ... a lot like the modern occupants

of the White House, Harry, Ike, Jimmy, Jack, Dick, and Bill.

But when he's in English-speaking countries, such as the USA, he doesn't make

an issue of it if the newspapers prefer, and agrees to go by 'Benjamin', the name

more convenient and familiar to the general population.
