Rebeka Origin and Meaning

The name Rebeka is a girl's name of Hungarian origin.

Rebeka is a feminine name representing an Eastern European or Hebrew variant of Rebecca. The biblical Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob and Esau. The name derives from Hebrew origins, meaning 'to bind,' 'to tie,' or 'captivating.' This spelling variation with a 'k' instead of two 'c's is common in Hungarian, Slovak, Polish, and some other European languages. Rebeka offers a slightly exotic alternative to the more common Rebecca while maintaining the same historical and biblical significance. The name has remained consistently recognized but not overly popular, giving it a balance of familiarity and distinctiveness.
