Rebeckah

Rebeckah is an English variant of the Hebrew name Rebekah, derived from the root ribqah, most likely meaning to bind or to tie, with some scholars connecting it to a word for a knotted cord or a fattened animal ready for tying. In the Hebrew Bible, Rebekah is the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, making her one of the matriarchs of the Israelite people. The spelling Rebeckah is an uncommon elaboration that inserts a c before the final syllable, likely influenced by the more familiar English name Rebecca. Closely related forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, and Rebeka.
