Reah is English, Greek, Hebrew in Origin.

Reah is a modern variant spelling of Rhea, the Greek Ῥέα, name of the Titaness and mother of Zeus, Hera, and other Olympians. Its etymology is debated: many link it to Greek rheîn “to flow,” evoking fertility and ease, while others connect it to an older word for “ground” or “earth.” On name lists, Reah is typically interpreted as “flowing,” “ease,” or “fertile mother.”

As a given name in English, Rhea gained modest use in the 19th‑century classical revival; Reah appears far less frequently, surfacing as a contemporary, streamlined respelling. Variants and cognates include Rhea, Rea, Réa, and the short form Ria; pronunciation is usually REE‑uh, with occasional RAY‑uh. In some contexts the spelling may also echo Hebrew Re’a (“friend”) or re’ach (“fragrance”), though this is a separate origin. Reah offers classical gravitas with a light, fluid sound.
