      Idk if any of them have had the full name, just lots of Beccas. You’ll also note that any Hebrew name that also appears in the old testament (Noah in particular) are popular Christian names.

      Yeah, it’s from the Torah or Old Testament and is the name of Isaac’s wife. The name itself comes from the Hebrew for “to tie firmly” or “to bind.”

        That explains a lot about the Rebecca I used to know.
