Rheya

Meaning of Rheya

Rheya, pronounced RAY-uh, is a graceful feminine name rooted in the ancient Greek Titaness Rhea, mother of the Olympian gods. The extra “y” adds a playful twist—like a secret wink in a familiar melody—giving the name a fresh, contemporary spin. In Anglo-American circles, it’s cherished for its soft yet steadfast sound, evoking flowing rivers and nurturing strength. Though it still hovers just inside the top 1,000—bestowing its charm on fewer than sixty newborns a year—Rheya has quietly climbed the charts, appealing to families who crave something both timeless and uniquely their own. Warm and full of poetic promise, Rheya invites each little girl to carry a legacy of grace and write her own bright chapter.
