Beckie Origin and Meaning
The name Beckie is a girl's name.
Beckie is a diminutive form of Rebecca, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'to bind' or 'to tie.' This friendly, approachable variation emerged as a nickname but has been used as an independent given name since the 20th century. Particularly popular in English-speaking countries during the 1960s and 1970s, Beckie offers a more casual, affectionate alternative to the formal Rebecca. While maintaining the warmth and biblical connections of its parent name, Beckie adds a touch of youthful charm. The spelling with 'ie' rather than 'y' gives it a slightly more feminine appearance than the variant 'Becky.'
