Rebeccah

Rebeccah is an English feminine name and an elaborated spelling variant of Rebecca, which derives from the Hebrew name Rivqah, whose precise root meaning is debated but is often interpreted as meaning snare or to bind. In the Hebrew Bible, Rebecca is the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, making her one of the matriarchs of the Israelite people. The name spread widely through Europe following the Protestant Reformation, when biblical names gained renewed popularity. Related forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, and Rebeka.
