MINIAMIN, mĭn’ yə mĭn (מִנְיָמִן, מִ֨נְיָמִ֔ין, LXX βενιαμειν, meaning on the right hand side, hence a favored or fortunate one). A priestly personal name.

Compare this with its variant Mijamin. The two names are the same although one assimilates the letter n (nun in Heb.). The variant may have been a way to distinguish between different persons. In the days of Hezekiah a faithful priest named Miniamin assisted in the distribution of tithes and contributions (2 Chron 31:15). A Miniamin is listed with the heads of priestly households (fathers’ houses, Neh 12:17) and in v. 41 one with this name blew the trumpet while Nehemiah gave thanks.
