To tie, bind, or snare
Derived from the Hebrew name Rivqah, it likely stems from a root meaning to join, tie, or captivate. In the Old Testament, she was the wife of Isaac and mother of Esau and Jacob, noted for her beauty and hospitality. This specific spelling with the 'h' at the end is a less common variant of the traditional Rebecca.
