Re: Rabea means daughter of Jacob
My search tells me that Rabea is the Nordic female form of "Rueben," and thus Old Testament Biblical, from "son of Jacob," and therefore the daughter of Jacob. Its popularity ranges from 10th to 32nd
across all of the many Nordic nations, including second names. (SOURCE https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Rabea)

Reuben was one of Jacob's sons, it does not mean "son of Jacob".
