feminine · English (Rare) origin
Rebeccah is an English feminine name and an elaborated spelling variant of Rebecca, which derives from the Hebrew name Rivqah, most likely connected to a root meaning to tie or bind, sometimes interpreted as a snare or joiner. The name is borne in the Hebrew Bible by the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, making it one of the most enduring names in the Abrahamic tradition. The added h reflects an older or more ornate orthographic style, paralleling similar variants such as Rebekah and Rebekka.
