According to biblical tradition, Rebecca's father was Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram, also called Aram-Naharaim.

Rebecca (given Name)
Rebecca or Rebekah (Hebrew: רִבְקָה (''Rivkah'')) is a feminine given name originating from the Hebrew language. The name comes from the verb רבק (''rbq''), meaning "to tie firmly"; Jones' ''Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names'' and the NOBS Study Bible Name List suggest the name means captivating beauty, or "to tie", "to bind".

Spelling The Latin Vulgate uses the spelling Rebecca exclusively and it is followed by (''ex. gr.'') Wycliffe and the Bishops' Bible.
