Commentary for Berakhot 121:17

לכדר"ש בן מנסיא דדרש ר"ש בן מנסיא מאי דכתיב ויבן ה' את הצלע מלמד שקלעה הקב"ה לחוה והביאה לאדם הראשון שכן בכרכי הים קורין לקליעתא בנייתא

It is [to be explained] according to R. Simeon b. Menasya who expounded : What means, "And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man, made He [banah] a woman"? It teaches that the Holy One, blessed be He, plaited her hair and brought her [adorned] to Adam ; for so in the sea-towns they call plaits binyata.
