Rhea is a Greek name of unknown meaning but it may be from ῥέω (rheo) meaning "to flow". Rhea was called the "Mother of the Gods" because she bore the first generation of Olympian gods. She is associated with motherhood, fertility, and comfort.

I prefer this name prounced RAY-ə as it's most similar to the Greek pronunciaiton of REH-ah. I do know it's not considered the most intutive from what I've seen.

I hesitate to include this name as a friend had Rhea as her chosen middle name for her baby if it had been a girl. They may try for more children in the future so I don't want to edge in on that. Love the name but it's not mine anymore.
