Rebbekka is Hebrew in Origin.

Rebbekka is a modern respelling of the biblical name Rebecca, from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה), commonly derived from the root r-b-q “to tie/bind,” hence senses like “bound,” “joined,” or figuratively “captivating.” The name gained prominence through Rebecca, wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, anchoring its use across Jewish and Christian communities and, later, throughout Europe. Latin and English favored Rebecca, while Greek, Germanic, and Nordic traditions often use Rebekka or Rebecka.

Rebbekka refines this family of forms by doubling the medial consonants, an orthographic choice that echoes Scandinavian spellings; it remains rare and largely regional or individual in use. Established variants include Rebecca, Rebekah, Rebekka, Rebecka, and Rebeca; related Hebrew/Yiddish forms are Rivka and Rifka. Familiar nicknames are Becca, Becky, and Reba.
