    Hi, bex3131!

    I'm sorry that your question wasn't getting a response in the Writing forum topic area, so I've moved it to Languages where hopefully, you'll get a response from someone who knows how to do the translation correctly. It's my understanding, that the Experts that can help you the best with this, will need to know, from you, the exact phonetic pronunciation in order to be the most accurate. So, it would be helpful if you would provide it.

    Thanks!

    Hi Rebecca:

    This is what I have found for your name in Sanskrit:

    रेबेका

    However, this is a Hindi translation.
    Before you get mad at me for using the wrong language, let me explain. Sanskrit and Hindi use the same "letters" for the most part in their writing, and the pronunciation is the same.
    Therefore, when translating words, it is different for the two languages. However, when translating something that is universal (such as names), most of the time, Sanskrit and Hindi are the same thing.

    Occasionally, they will be different, and I am not claiming this to be 100% sure. However, it is most likely.
