Sorry, I don't know the source - but AFAIK it's from chazal, not from tanach.

I'm named Riva after a great grandmother who was named Riva after someone else. My father said it's been Riva and not Rivkah at all. He has a a place where family names are written for generations. He also says it comes from "a fight" between Yetzer Hora and Yetzer Tov, in a positive way.
