Beccah is Hebrew in Origin.

Beccah (pronounced BEK-uh) is a modern English respelling of Becca, the short form of Rebecca, from Hebrew Rivqah/Rivkah.

Rebecca entered English via Greek Rhebekka and Latin Rebecca; as Isaac’s wife and mother of Jacob and Esau, she anchors the name in Jewish and Christian tradition. Adopted by Puritans and boosted by later literature (notably du Maurier’s Rebecca), it surged in the late 20th century. Beccah is rare, emerging mainly from the 1990s as a personalized spelling. International variants include Rivka (Hebrew), Rebekah (English), Rébecca (French), Rebeca (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rebecka (Scandinavian). Related nicknames: Becca, Bekah, Becky, Bex.
