Meanings

A female given name: from a Hebrew word meaning “binding.”.

Rebecca or Rebekah (Hebrew: רִבְקָה (Rivkah) is a feminine given name originating from the Hebrew language. The name comes from the verb רבק (rbq), meaning "to tie firmly"; Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names and the NOBS Study Bible Name List suggest the name means "snare", "noose", "tied up", "secured", and even "beautifully ensnaring". W. F. Albright held that it meant "soil, earth".
The name's most famous bearer was the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau in the Hebrew Bible.

Fem. proper name, biblical wife of Isaac, mother of Jacob and Esau, from Late Latin Rebecca, from Greek Rhebekka, from Hebrew Ribhqeh, literally "connection" (compare ribhqah "team"), from Semitic base r-b-q "to tie, couple, join" (compare Arabic rabaqa "he tied fast"). Rebekah, the form of the name in Authorized Version, was taken as the name of a society of women (founded 1851 in Indiana, U.S.) as a complement to the Odd Fellows.

Short form of Rebecca: join, tie, snare, to tie.
