Rebekka is Hebrew in Origin.
Rebekka is the German and Nordic form of the biblical name Rebecca/Rebekah, ultimately from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה). The root carries the sense “to tie, bind,” often interpreted as “captivating” or “one who knits together.” The double k mirrors the Septuagint Greek Ῥεβέκκα and influenced Lutheran German and Scandinavian spellings.
Borne by the matriarch in Genesis - the wife of Isaac and mother of Esau and Jacob - Rebekka entered wide European use through Jewish and Christian tradition and, in Northern Europe, through Protestant Bible translations. It saw notable popularity surges in the late 20th century in Norway, Iceland, and Germany, and today reads as a familiar yet distinctive alternative to Rebecca. Major variants include Rebecca (English/Italian), Rebekah (English biblical), Rebecka (Swedish), Rebeca (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rivka/Rivkah (Modern Hebrew/Yiddish). Common short forms are Becky, Becca, Bekka, and Beka.
