Rebekkah Origin and Meaning

The name Rebekkah is a girl's name.

Rebekkah is a feminine name representing an elaborated spelling variation of Rebecca, which derives from Hebrew origins meaning 'to bind' or 'to tie.' This alternative spelling with double 'k' and an added 'h' emerged as parents sought more distinctive versions of the classic biblical name. Rebecca appears in the Old Testament as the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. The Rebekkah variation gained modest popularity in the late 20th century when creative spellings of traditional names became trendy. While less common than the standard Rebecca, Rebekkah offers the same rich historical and biblical connections while providing a slightly more unique identity. The name conveys qualities of beauty, wisdom, and maternal strength associated with its biblical namesake.
