Do you know what Rabea really means and where it comes from?
I read that it is supposed to be Hebrew and mean 'little girl' but couldn't find a reliable source for this.
I also found that it is supposed to mean 'spring' in Arabic but again couldn't find a reliable source. I know that Rabia means 'spring' but I have seen Rabea only on German girls and pronounced as rah-BAY-ah, never as rah-BEE-ah or anything like that so I don't know if it is really related to Rabia.
As I have only seen this name in German speaking countries and only on women born in the 70s and younger I wonder if maybe it is just a variant of the German Tabea influenced by Rebekka or something.
Does anyone have any idea?
