A person who is given a name by another; someone who is named or renamed by someone else.
From 'bename' plus the suffix '-ee' (indicating the recipient of an action), following patterns like 'employee' or 'addressee.' This word is extremely rare and literary.
The '-ee' suffix shows how English builds complementary pairs—if 'employer' exists, logic says 'employee' should too, and similarly 'benamee' follows the same creative pattern!
