What is the meaning of the name Reia ?

The baby name Reia is a Female name , 23 syllables long and is pronounced RAY-ə (/ˈreɪə/),REE-ə (/ˈriːə/),re-i-a (Japanese: /re.i.a/; rehee-ah).

Reia is Greek, Japanese, Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Reia is a feminine given name with several plausible roots and pronunciations (commonly RAY-ah). In the Greco-Roman tradition it aligns with Rhea, the Titaness mother of the Olympians; that form derives from Greek rhein, "to flow," yielding senses of "ease" and "stream." In Lusophone contexts Réia is the standard spelling of the mythic name, and Reia appears as a simplified variant. In Japanese, Reia (れいあ/レイア) is a modern choice built from Rei + a; kanji such as 礼愛 ("courteous, love"), 玲愛 ("tinkling-jade, love"), or 麗愛 ("lovely, love/affection") give graceful, affectionate meanings.

Usage is uncommon in the West but fits current trends for light, vowel-rich names, and it has seen sporadic contemporary use in Japan. Variants and related forms include Rhea/Réia, Reya/Reiya, and Rea. Possible nicknames are Rei or Ria. Overall, Reia blends classical depth with modern, elegant simplicity.
