Rivky

Rivky Origin and Meaning

The name Rivky is a girl's name.

Rivky is a feminine name primarily used in Jewish communities, particularly among Orthodox and Hasidic families. It functions as a Yiddish diminutive form of Rebecca (Rivka in Hebrew), which means 'to bind' or 'to tie' and appears in the Torah as the name of the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. Rivky carries the warmth and familiarity of a nickname while serving as a formal name that honors Jewish heritage and traditions. The name maintains strong cultural and religious connections while offering a distinctive sound. While common within certain Jewish communities, particularly in areas with large Orthodox populations like New York and Israel, Rivky remains relatively uncommon in mainstream American naming practices, preserving its cultural specificity.
