Beckie is Hebrew in Origin.

Beckie is an English diminutive of Rebecca, from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה). The root rbq conveys “to tie” or “bind,” often interpreted as “joined” or “captivating.” In the Hebrew Bible, Rebecca is the wife of Isaac and mother of Esau and Jacob, a matriarch whose story carried the name into Jewish and Christian traditions. Puritan use in the 17th century helped establish Rebecca in English, where affectionate short forms flourished.

Beckie arose as an alternative to Becky during the mid–20th century, seen most in Britain and the United States, though it has always been the rarer spelling. Related nicknames include Becky, Becca, Becki/Bekki, Becka, and Bex; formal and cognate forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, Rebeca, Rébecca, and Rivka. Today Beckie feels friendly and retro-casual - distinctive yet anchored by the enduring, biblical meaning.
