Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z hebrejského mena רִבְקָה (Rivka, tradične Rivqah). Jeho presná etymológia nie je istá; najčastejšie sa spája so semitským koreňom r-b-q s významom „spojiť“, „zviazať“ alebo „pripútať“. Výklady „očarujúca“ či „podmanivá“ sú iba voľnými prenesenými interpretáciami, nie spoľahlivo doloženým pôvodným významom.
