Once again the etymology of the name is extremely simplified. For sure Bennet(t) is from Latin Benedictus, but not directly because Benedict > Bennet in English is phonetically impossible. In English [d] and [c] would not have entirely disappeared. The 12th century language near English in England, where lenition is total is Anglo-Norman. So is Bennet obviously Anglo-Norman.

"Other uses" hatnote (recently deleted) is necessary to link with (e.g.) place names etc - unless article is to be merged with Bennett. -- Soundofmusicals ( talk) 16:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
