NAME OF THE DAY

Previous
Rebecca
Feminine
From the Hebrew name רִבְקָה (Rivqah), probably from a Semitic root meaning
"join, tie, snare". This is the name of the wife of Isaac and the mother of Esau
and Jacob in the Old Testament. It came into use as an English Christian name
after the Protestant Reformation, and it was popular with the Puritans in the
17th century.
