Bengali term

benami achhe

Non-PRO Bengali to English Other Other
ami chechiye boli keu jane na
amar kothay achhe ki benami

in another name, in false name

the lyric says : Nobody knows where I have wealth in another name/ in false name.

"Benami" is not nameless. It is the false or arbitrary name of a person to hide is identity.

In this context,"Benami" is "a false name" or "a fake name".

Example:
tar anek benami sompotti achhe= he has a lot of wealth in false name.
se benami-te gareeta kinechhe= he purchased the car in a false name.

Actually this word is related with property. When a person changed his name to hide his wealth from authority.
