Revekah is Hebrew in Origin.

Revekah is a modern respelling of the biblical name derived from Hebrew Rivqah (רִבְקָה). It stems from the Semitic root r-b-q, “to tie, bind, or secure,” yielding interpretations such as “bound,” “joined,” or the figurative “captivating/ensnaring.” The v reflects the voiced consonant heard in modern Hebrew Rivka, while the terminal -h nods to traditional English Bible spellings.

Known from the Book of Genesis as the wife of Isaac and mother of Esau and Jacob, the name became widespread in Europe through Latin and Greek forms and was favored in English by Puritans. Revekah itself is uncommon today, used mainly in Anglophone communities seeking a distinctive update with authentic roots. Related forms include Rebecca, Rebekah, Rivka/Rivkah, Rebekka (German/Scandinavian), Rebecka (Swedish), and Rébecca (French); Yiddish Rifke/Rivke also occurs. Short forms include Bekah, Becca, Becky, Bex, and Riv.
