The baby name Beka is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈbɛkə/ (BEH-kah).
Beka is English, Georgian, Persian in Origin.
Beka is a cross-cultural given name with distinct lines of origin. In Georgia (ბექა), it is a traditional masculine name borne by medieval princes and nobles - most notably members of the Jaqeli ruling house - and it remains common in modern Georgian usage. The word also appears in the Hebrew Bible (beqaʿ) as a unit of weight equal to a half‑shekel, a coincidence that sometimes colors modern interpretations.
As a feminine name in English and elsewhere, Beka functions as a streamlined variant or nickname of Rebecca/Rebekah, from Hebrew Rivqah, usually interpreted as “to bind, tie” and by extension “captivating.” For the Georgian masculine form, scholars sometimes connect Beka to the Turkic title beg/bey, “chieftain, lord,” reflecting medieval Caucasian contact, though the exact etymology is debated. Related variants include Becca, Bekah, Rebekah, Rebeca, and Rivka; in Georgian, Beka stands on its own rather than as a diminutive.
