What is the meaning of the name Bekka ?

Bekka is Hebrew in Origin.

Bekka is a brisk, modern variant of Becca, itself a pet form of Rebecca/Rebekah. The root name descends from Hebrew Rivqah, carried into Greek as Rhebekka and Latin Rebecca. Etymologists trace it to a Semitic verb meaning "to tie or bind," yielding traditional senses such as "bound," "joined," or by extension "captivating/ensnaring." As the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau in the Hebrew Bible, Rebecca anchored the name early in Judeo-Christian tradition.

In contemporary use, Bekka functions both as a nickname and as an independent given name, most visible in Anglophone countries from the late 20th century. The k-spelling reflects modern phonetic styling and may echo the Nordic/Germanic Rebekka. Related forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, Rebeca (Spanish/Portuguese), Rébecca (French), and Rebekka (German/Scandinavian). Short forms and cognates include Becca, Bex, Beck, and Rivka.
