Rebecca

From the Hebrew name רִבְקָה (Rivqa), probably from a Semitic root signifying "join, tie, snare". In the Old Testament, this is the wife of Isaac and mother of Esau and Jacob. It came into English use as a Christian name after the Protestant Reformation and was popular among the Puritans in the 17th century. It has been used consistently since then, becoming especially common in the latter half of the 20th century.

A Jewish woman in Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (1819) bears this name, as does the title character (deceased and unseen) in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca (1938).
