What does the name Rebekkah mean?

Rebekkah is a spelling of Rebecca, pronounced the same way, so it shares Rebecca's meaning and origin.

Rebecca is the Latin form of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac in Genesis (her birth is noted in Genesis 22:23). The meaning of the Hebrew Rivqah is debated: DMNES relates it to a Semitic root meaning "to tie, couple" and the Random House dictionary glosses it "binding", while Wiktionary gives "captivating, snare". DMNES says the name came into use in England in the second half of the 16th century.

רִבְקָה (Biblical Hebrew, “Rebekah (root perhaps 'to tie')”)

How sure is this? Uncertain. Sources give 'connection', 'tie' or 'captivating'; none is certain.

Related names: Rebekah, Becky, Becca, Rivka.
