Brekah is English in Origin.

Brekah is a modern English spelling of the Hebrew Berakhah/Beracha (ברכה), from the Semitic root BRK meaning “to bless,” also linked to “knee” as a gesture of blessing. It denotes blessing, benediction, and divine favor; cognate with Arabic Baraka(h) and Swahili Baraka (via Arabic). The term appears throughout Jewish scripture and liturgy, including the Valley of Berakah (2 Chronicles 20:26) and the Mishnah’s tractate Berakhot.

As a given name, Brekah is rare and contemporary, chosen by parents seeking a faith-inflected yet distinctive form of Bracha. Documented use rises in the late 20th–21st centuries in Jewish and interfaith communities and among those drawn to its uplifting meaning. Variants and related forms include Bracha, Beracha(h), Berakha, Berakah, Baraka(h), and the Swahili Baraka; masculine Baruch/Barak share the root. Possible nicknames: Bree, Bekah, Kiki; spelling cousins: Breka, Brecka. Pronunciation commonly BREH-kah or BRAY-kah.
