feminine · English origin
Reba is an English given name that originated as a short form of Rebecca, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Rivqah, whose exact meaning is uncertain but is often interpreted as meaning "to bind" or "to tie." The name gained particular cultural prominence in the United States through country music singer Reba McEntire, born 1955, whose fame helped establish it as a standalone given name rather than merely a nickname. It remains most common in American contexts and sits alongside other short forms of Rebecca such as Becca and Becky.
