There are many ideas about how the word BENNY (or BNENY) started. B may stand for Bayonne, Brooklyn, or Bergen. E may stand for Elizabeth, or Edison. N may stand for Newark, and of course, the NY stands for New York! And it may or may not have been in that order! Does it matter? The fact is that if you ever visited the Jersey Shore from a place more north, and now you live here, then you WUZ-a-BENNY!
