Rebecca (given name)

Rebekah or Rebecca is a feminine given name originating from the Hebrew רִבְקָה (Rivkah). The name comes from the verb רבק (rbq), meaning "to tie firmly"; Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names and the NOBS Study Bible Name List suggest the name means "snare", "noose", "tied up", "secured", and even "beautifully ensnaring".W.F. Albright held that it meant "star".

The name's most famous bearer was the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau in the Hebrew Bible.

Spelling

The Latin Vulgate uses the spelling Rebecca exclusively and it is followed by (ex. gr.) Wycliffe and the Bishops' Bible. In the Authorized Version of the 1600,s the spelling Rebekah is used in the Old Testament (Genesis) and the Latin "Rebecca" (representing Greek Bible Ῥεβέκκα) was retained in the New Testament (see Romans 9:10). So the earlier western spelling is “Rebecca,” but both spellings (Rebecca and Rebekah) are used in the influential King James Version. Both are current in the English-speaking world today.
