Rezka Origin and Meaning

The name Rezka is a girl's name of Czech origin.

Rezka is an uncommon feminine name with possible Slavic origins. In several Slavic languages, particularly Slovenian and Czech, the word "rezka" relates to concepts of sharpness, quickness, or being cut (from the root "rez" meaning "cut"). As a personal name, it may have evolved as a nickname for someone perceived as sharp-witted or quick in movement. The name has a distinctive sound with its strong 'z' consonant giving it a certain edge and vibrancy. Rezka remains quite rare internationally, particularly in English-speaking countries, making it an unusual choice that carries a sense of strength and distinctiveness. The name's brevity and clear pronunciation make it accessible despite its unfamiliarity to many, while its Slavic roots give it a subtle exotic quality.
