Meaning & origin
Rebacca is an uncommon variant spelling of Rebecca, a name with deep biblical roots. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1919 with just 5 babies given the name, and it has never ranked in the top 1000. Its peak year was also 1919, the only year it achieved any notable (though slight) usage. Since then, the name has remained extremely rare, with no recorded births in recent decades, indicating a stable trajectory of negligible usage. While Rebecca itself has been a enduring classic, Rebacca has not shared in that popularity. No top states have been associated with this variant, as its occurrences have been too sparse to yield meaningful geographic data. Parents choosing Rebacca today would likely be selecting a distinctive twist on a traditional favorite.
Rebacca is a variant of Rebecca, which comes from the Hebrew name Rivqah, likely derived from the root r-b-q meaning "to tie" or "to bind." In the Old Testament, Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. The spelling Rebacca is a less common Anglicized form, first recorded in the United States in 1919.
