About Rebecca
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 well-used choice. It derives from the Hebrew name Rivkah, from the verb ribbqah, meaning "noose." 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.
The Becca short form is more stylish now than homespun Becky. 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.
Rebecca remains one of the top girls' names starting with R.
Rebecca is also given to boys.
Pronounced ruh-BEK-uh.
As of October 2026, Rebecca ranked #350 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #10 in 1973, Nameberry popularity #359.
