Becca is in Origin.

Becca is an English diminutive of Rebecca, ultimately from the Hebrew Rivqah (Rivka), usually interpreted as “to bind, tie,” and by extension “captivating.” Through biblical transmission into Latin and European vernaculars, Rebecca became established across many languages: Hebrew Rivka, Yiddish Rifka, Spanish and Portuguese Rebeca, Italian Rebecca, and French Rebecca. In English, Becca emerged as an affectionate short form alongside Becky and Beccy.

The name’s prominence derives from the biblical matriarch Rebecca, wife of Isaac, which encouraged widespread use among Jewish communities and later among Protestants, especially in the 17th century. From the late 20th century, Becca gained currency as an independent given name in the UK and US, reflecting a taste for brisk, nickname-style choices on birth certificates. Variant spellings and related diminutives include Becka, Bekka, Beccy, Becky, and Bekah; Reba also appears in American usage. The meaning keeps Becca linked to themes of attachment and allure.
