Bekki

Bekki is a modern English given name functioning as an informal variant of Rebecca, which derives from the Hebrew name Rivqah, whose precise root meaning is debated but is often interpreted as meaning to tie or to bind, or sometimes associated with a snare or noose, suggesting captivating beauty. Rebecca appears prominently in the Hebrew Bible as the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, giving the name longstanding use across Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Bekki represents a phonetic respelling of the common short form Becky, following a pattern of replacing the letter c with k that became fashionable in modern English naming. Related forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, Becca, and Becky.
