Rebequah is Hebrew in Origin.

Rebequah is a modern variant spelling of the biblical name Rebekah/Rebecca, ultimately from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה). The root r-b-q means “to tie, bind,” yielding interpretive senses such as “bound,” “captivating,” or “ensnaring.” In the Hebrew Bible, Rebecca is the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, which helped the name travel through Greek Rhebekka and Latin Rebecca into European languages. It entered sustained English use after the Reformation, especially among Puritans.

This uncommon qu-spelling is typically intended to share Rebekah’s pronunciation (reh-BEK-uh) and meaning while offering a distinctive look. Related forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, Rebeca (Spanish/Portuguese), Rebecka/Rebekka (Scandinavian/German), Rébecca (French), Rivka/Rivkah (Hebrew/Yiddish), and Revekka (Slavic). Familiar nicknames are Becca, Becky, and Bex. While Rebecca and Rebekah have enjoyed wide popularity - peaking in many Anglophone countries in the late 20th century - Rebequah remains very rare, lending a personalized twist to a time-honored classic.
