Rebeka is a female first name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Rebeka is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Rebeka. In the SmartGenius ranking, Rebeka is #4,804 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Rebeka.
In fact, the name Rebeka hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Rebeka wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1993, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,517, 93 parents chose it in 1993 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Rebeka, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Rebeka was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Rebeka a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 7,418, for a total of 12 babies. The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Rebeka seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Rebeka are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Rebeka is registered in 16 states, among which are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida or Georgia. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Rebeka live in Texas, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 41,197 would turn around if you called the name Rebeka across Texas.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.
With six letters, the name Rebeka is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.
If your name is Rebeka and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
