Rebecka
Rebecka Origin and Meaning
Rebecka is a Scandinavian and Eastern European variant spelling of Rebecca, a biblical name of Hebrew origin meaning 'to bind' or 'to tie.' This spelling is particularly common in Sweden, Poland, and other northern European countries, where the 'ck' combination better represents the pronunciation in those languages. The biblical Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. While the traditional 'Rebecca' spelling remains more common in English-speaking countries, Rebecka offers a subtle European flair. The name has maintained steady popularity throughout the centuries, appreciated for its combination of historical significance, pleasant sound, and feminine qualities. Rebecka conveys an image of beauty, wisdom, and strength with a touch of international character.
