History & Origin
Rebekkah is a fancy spelling of Rebecca, whose Hebrew original Rivqah is borne by a matriarch of Genesis, wife of Isaac. The name is traditionally linked to binding or joining. When Rebecca and the biblical Rebekah were both fashionable in the eighties and nineties, spellings like Rebekkah multiplied.
It reached its high point around 1993 and stayed uncommon beside its parents. A girl named Rebekkah then is now in her early thirties. Rebecca remains the standard, so this spelling reads as a personal elaboration; Becca, Bekah and Becky all serve as familiar short forms.
