Gender: Female Meaning of Rebecca: "servant of God" Origin of Rebecca: Hebrew Rebecca's Popularity in 2017: #216

The name Rebecca is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "servant of God". Rebecca is ranked #216 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Vintage Baby Names for Girls and discussed in our forums with posts like "A brother or sister for little Jack or Olivia".

From the experts:

Rebecca is a name representing beauty in the Bible, an Old Testament classic that reached the heights of revived popularity in the seventies but is still a pretty and prudent choice. The Becca short form is more stylish now than homespun Becky. The biblical Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau and Jacob. Rebekah was a common spelling of the name in the Bible.

Nickname Becky is a staple in such classics as A Little Princess, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Vanity Fair, while the full form features in the eponymous Daphne du Maurier novel, in Ivanhoe, and in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
