Rigbee is English in Origin.

Rigbee is a modern given name derived from the English surname Rigby (pronounced RIG-bee), which traces to a Lancashire place-name formed from Old Norse hryggr “ridge” + býr “farm, settlement.” Thus, the core meaning is “farm on the ridge” or “ridge settlement.” As a forename, Rigby appears sporadically in England and later in the wider Anglophone world, with mild cultural recognition after the Beatles’ 1966 song “Eleanor Rigby.” Rigbee represents a contemporary respelling that highlights the bright -ee ending and invites the nickname Bee.

Short forms include Rig, Rigs, and Bee. The name suits families drawn to English locational heritage, Scandinavian-rooted etymology, and crisp two-syllable surnames-as-first-names.
