Rheibah is in Origin.

Rheibah is a very uncommon feminine given name found in late 20th–21st century use, likely as a modern, phonetic coinage. Its shape suggests converging sources: it can be read as a creative respelling of Reba (a diminutive of Rebecca, from Hebrew Rivqah “to bind, tie”), as a hybrid evoking Rahab/Rihab (Hebrew/Arabic roots associated with “spaciousness, breadth”), or as a Rhea-influenced variant from Greek myth (linked to a root meaning “to flow”). Because the name is recent and rare, a single standardized origin has not settled.

Possible variants include Rheiba, Reiba, Rheba, Rebah, and Raybah; related names are Rebecca/Reba, Rahab, Rihab, and Rhea. Depending on the etymology preferred, Rheibah is interpreted as “to bind, join,” “wide open spaces,” or “flow.” Usage remains sporadic, appearing chiefly in English-speaking contexts and in families drawing on Middle Eastern or biblical naming traditions.
