Rivalee
r(i)-va-lee
Origin:American
Other Origin(s):Hebrew
Meaning:To tie, snare; Weary, tired; Cow
Rivalee is a modern American name for girls that's rooted in ancient origins. A variant of Rivalea, Rivalee comes from the blend of the Hebrew names Riva and Lea to create a musical moniker. Riva derives from the name Ribqaâh, which also inspired Rebecca, and means "to tie" or "to snare." Lea derives from the Hebrew word lê'âh, meaning "weary" or "tired." It may also stem from the Akkadian word littu, meaning "cow." While these meanings aren't bubbling with excitement, they can serve as a reminder to your child that it's okay to rest, recuperate, and put their wellbeing first if they're ever feeling tied down.
