Name: Rebecca

Gender: Feminine

Location: North America, UK, Europe, Australia/NZ

Language: English, Italian

Thematic: Biblical

Meaning: Comes from the Hebrew name Rivka, which means "bound" or "faithful".

Comments: Like Sarah and Elizabeth, this name is an old biblical standby that experiences bursts of popularity and unpopularity, but never fades from sight.


I've also heard it means "pig" and "peacemaker"
