Benjamin Banneker did not have a middle name, at least not according to any known records.

Banneker was not, as some have said, born a slave; he was born to FORMER slaves.

Trick question. He didn't have one (which wasn't uncommon in that era, especially for being uneducated and the son of a slave). His last name was changed from Bannakay (or Banna Ka) to Banneker by one of his school teachers though (from his limited schooling).
