The act of naming or calling someone by a particular name; the present participle of 'bename.'
From 'bename' with the '-ing' suffix, which converts the verb into either a noun (the act of naming) or the continuous present form.
The '-ing' form is incredibly versatile in English—'benaming' could be used as a noun ('the benaming of children'), a continuous action ('he is benaming them'), or an adjective ('the benaming ceremony')!
