Reveka as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Reveka

What is the meaning of the name Reveka ?

The baby name Reveka is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced reh-VEH-kah (IPA: /rɛˈvɛkə/).

Reveka is Hebrew in Origin.

Reveka is an Eastern Slavic and Caucasian form of Rebecca, ultimately from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה), whose root rbq means “to bind, tie fast,” yielding senses like “joined,” “captivating,” or “ensnarer.” The pathway runs Hebrew > Greek Rebekka (Ρεβέκκα) > Latin Rebecca, with Slavic phonology producing Reveka/Revekka. It appears in Russian as Ревекка and in Georgian as რევეკა; transliteration without the double k gives Reveka.

As the name of the biblical matriarch - wife of Isaac, mother of Jacob and Esau - Reveka entered Christian calendars and Jewish naming traditions alike. It was long favored in Ashkenazi communities (Yiddish: Rivke/Rivka) and in Orthodox lands via Old Testament commemorations, though the Reveka spelling remains rare today. International variants include Rebecca, Rebekah, Rebeka, Rebeca, Rivka, Rivke, and Revekka; related diminutives span Becca, Becky, and Riva. Usage surfaces in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and among Russian-speaking diaspora in Israel and North America.
