Rebbecca

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Rebbecca: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1993.

Rebbecca is a variant spelling of Rebecca, a name of Hebrew origin derived from Rivkah, meaning “to tie” or “to bind,” evoking a sense of connection or loyalty. In the Bible, Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau, a figure of kindness and determination. Modern bearers include actress Rebecca Ferguson, known for her roles in *Dune* and *Mission: Impossible*, and singer Rebecca Black, whose viral hit “Friday” became a cultural touchstone. While no major places are named after a Rebbecca, the name shares its root with the Scottish place-name Rievaulx, through a different etymological branch. This double-b, double-c spelling is an uncommon but distinctive variation, perhaps chosen by parents seeking a traditional name with a unique twist.
