Rebequa is Hebrew in Origin.

Rebequa is a rare modern respelling of the biblical name Rebecca/Rebekah, ultimately from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה), meaning “to bind, tie” and by extension “bound, joined” or “captivating.” In the Hebrew Bible, Rebecca is Isaac’s wife and mother of Jacob and Esau, an anchor figure whose name spread throughout Jewish and Christian communities. Through the Latin Vulgate (Rebecca) and English Bible (Rebekah), it entered European use, flourishing among Puritans and later seeing renewed popularity in the late 20th century.

The qu spelling suggests Lusophone or Hispanophone orthographic influence, where qu before a signals a hard k/kw sound; Rebequa remains very uncommon in records, serving as a distinctive twist on a classic. Close variants include Rebekah, Rebecca, Rebeca, Rébecca, Rebecka, Rebekka, and Rivka; short forms include Becca, Becky, Becka, and Bex.
