What is the meaning of the name Reattah ?

Reattah is in Origin.

Reattah is a modern, rare given name most plausibly adapted from Spanish reata “lasso, riata,” a term long associated with the ranching cultures of the American West. The extra -h softens the ending and distinguishes it from Reata/Reatta, while echoing breathy finals in Hannah or Norah. By folk etymology, some also connect it to Rhea (Greek, “flow, ease”) or to Gaelic Riata/Ríada (linked to “rider, traveller”), but these are secondary influences rather than a direct source.

As a personal name, Reattah sees sporadic 20th–21st century use in North America, likely inspired by Western literature and place names such as Reata Ranch. It remains extremely uncommon and largely feminine, though usable unisex. Variants include Reata, Reatta, and Reatah; related forms or nicknames include Rea, Ree, Atta. The name’s prevailing sense evokes lariats, open ranges, and skillful handiwork - hence modern readings like “lasso,” “to bind together,” or “one who links.”
