Short for biblical Hebrew Rivqka which means "to bind", (because of beauty). In Arabic, cardinal number four or fourthborn, also moon princess. I love it, it's fun & strong.
Uhhhhh I don’t really like this name. I mean, I don’t get why someone would want their name to be “Reba”. It’s just kinda weird I guess. I mean, it’s not like I have the best name in the world either (my name is Aria), but I like mine a lot more than this. I agree if your name is Rebecca the best nickname would be Becka. I just don’t like Reba AT ALL. You know, it kinda reminds me of Rebel. Not my style.
Reba has a male origin. In the book of Numbers 31:8, there were five Midianite Kings that Moses and the Israelites killed. Reba was one of those five kings.
Terrific, fun name! I mean, sure, the first and only thing that jumps to mind will probably always be McEntire, but between her singing and TV/movie work, she's an absolutely awesome association.
The only nickname I like out of Rebecca is Becka. I don't really like the sound of Becky, Rebbie is absolutely awful, and Reba here is ridiculous. What sort of a ditzy country girl name is this supposed to be?
The only real famous bearer of this name is none other than country music legend Reba McEntire. At first I thought her real name was Rebecca, but it turns out it's just plain ol' Reba. I LOVE her sitcom, which, ironically, is called Reba. I think this name fits Miss McEntire very well, a soft name that has a little spunk to it. You know, as in her soft blue eyes and her fiery red hair?
