Beccah

Beccah is a feminine given name, a variant spelling of Rebecca that is used in English-speaking contexts. The name is typically pronounced BEK-uh, with the emphasis on the first syllable; regional variations may yield slightly different pronunciations.

Beccah derives from the Hebrew name Rivka, which is commonly interpreted as meaning "to tie" or "to bind," with the broader association of being "captivating." As with Rebecca, Beccah carries the connotation of charm or appeal in many cultural contexts, and it has become one of several modern spellings chosen for stylistic reasons.

In terms of usage, Beccah is relatively uncommon compared with more traditional spellings such as Rebecca, Rebekah, or Bekah. It has appeared in baby-name data in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, often among families seeking distinctive spellings. It is most frequently found in the United States and Canada, with sporadic usage in other regions.

There are no widely documented public figures who are known primarily by the Beccah spelling in major reference works. The name tends to appear more often in personal naming, family circles, and occasional fictional characters, reflecting broader trends toward variant spellings of established names.
