Etymology of REVEKAH

The name "Rebekah" or "Revekah" is derived from the Hebrew name "רִבְקָה" (Rivqah). It appears in the Old Testament of the Bible, particularly in the book of Genesis. The original Hebrew name is thought to come from the root word "רבק" (r-b-q), which means "to tie" or "to join". This association might be connected to the fact that Rebekah is known for the symbolic tying of a red string, which is a Jewish custom.
