Rivky

Rivky is a Yiddish diminutive form of the name Rebecca, which has its origins in the Hebrew language. Rebecca is derived from the Hebrew word 'ribqah,' meaning 'to tie or bind.'

In the Old Testament, Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau. She is considered one of the four matriarchs of the Hebrew people.

The name Rebecca, and its diminutive form Rivky, have been widely used in Jewish communities for centuries, as it carries a strong connection to the biblical figure and the cultural heritage.

While Rivky is primarily a nickname or pet form of Rebecca, it has also been used as an independent given name, particularly in Yiddish-speaking communities.
