What is the meaning of the name Rebekeh ?

Rebekeh is Hebrew in Origin.

Rebekeh is a rare modern respelling of Rebekah/Rebecca, the English forms of Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה). The root r-b-q likely means “to tie, bind,” hence the widely given sense “bound, joined,” with later interpretive shades of “captivating.” Through the Septuagint and Vulgate it became Greek/Latin Rebecca; English preserved two lines: Rebekah in the Old Testament and Rebecca in the New (Romans 9:10), fueling both spellings in later usage.

While Rebecca dominated in medieval and early modern Europe, Rebekah rose in Protestant English contexts from the 17th century. Rebekeh appears sporadically in contemporary English-speaking countries as a creative phonetic variant, uncommon in official statistics. International counterparts include Rivka/Rivkah (Hebrew/Yiddish), Rebecka and Rebekka (Scandinavian/German), Rebeca (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rebecca/Rébecca (Italian/French). Nicknames span Becca, Becky, Bex, and Reba. The name carries strong biblical resonance via the matriarch, wife of Isaac and mother of Esau and Jacob.
