Meaning: To bind, to tie

Rebbecca is an alternate spelling of the popular feminine Hebrew name Rebecca. Derived from Rivkah, Rebbecca has a meaning of "to tie" or "to bind." A number of celebrities and film stars have carried the name with pride over the years, Rebecca Hall being one of them. Rebecca landed her breakthrough role in 2006 in Christopher Nolan's film The Prestige. Two years later, she starred as Vicky in Woody Allen's romantic comedy-drama Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. Your little one will naturally feel tied to someone carrying their name, a sense of familiarity without knowing the person. However, baby Rebbecca’s strongest bond will be with you as you take their hand and guide them through their formative years.
