Origin:Greek
Meaning:To flow; Ground
Rhea is a feminine name steeped in timeless elegance and motherly energy. Greek in origin, this beautiful title was borne by the Titan Rhea, the mother of the Olympian gods and goddesses, who eased childbirth for those expecting. Her name is said to derive from the Greek element rheo, meaning "to flow," or era, meaning "ground." Giving your little one this moniker could be a lovely way to remind them to be present in every moment but also embrace change and forward motion. Such is its versatility, Rhea can be pronounced in two different ways, as The Bump community member cjseeger explains, "I've heard it pronounced Ree-uh and Ray-a." However you choose to say it, Rhea is a fitting choice for a tiny tot who'll live life at their very own rhythm.
