Rheia
Meaning of Rheia
The name Rheia is a beautiful and unique choice for a baby girl, steeped in ancient history and mythology. Pronounced as RAY-uh (/ˈreɪ.ə/), it is a variant of the name Rhea. In Greek mythology, Rheia (or Rhea) was one of the Titans, daughter of Uranus (Sky) and Gaia (Earth), and the mother of the Olympian gods Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hestia, Demeter, and Hades. This strong mythological connection gives the name an aura of timelessness and strength. Although not very common in the United States, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 20 newborns per year over the past decade, its rarity adds to its charm and uniqueness. Choosing Rheia for your child could imbue her with a sense of heritage and distinction that stands out beautifully in any setting.
