Beb is a brief, palindromic given name most often used as a nickname. In English it can be a clipped pet form drawn from names beginning with Bev- (Beverly, Bevan) or simply an affectionate shortening of baby. In Dutch usage of the 20th century, Beb appears as a familiar form - especially for Elisabeth - alongside the cognate Bep; it also surfaces in Filipino and Indonesian texting slang as beb, an endearment akin to “babe,” sometimes later adopted as a legal name.

As a formal name it remains rare, but it occurs in Dutch and English records and enjoys casual visibility online. The meaning depends on its source: from Elisabeth, “pledged to God”; from Beverly, “beaver stream”; from Bevan, “son of Evan”; from the endearment sense, “beloved.” Variants and related forms include Bebs/Bebz, Bebe/Bébé, Bebby, Bev, and Bep.
