Rhime is English in Origin.

Rhime is a modern English given name shaped by the twin histories of rhyme and rime. The poetic term rhyme entered Middle English from Old French rime; the intrusive h was added in Early Modern English by scholarly analogy with rhythm. Rime, meanwhile, denotes hoarfrost and comes from Old English hrīm, a Germanic root. The spelling Rhime blends these strands and also echoes the English surname Rhimes, giving it literary and wintry overtones.

As a first name it is rare and largely 21st century, used as a gender-neutral, creativity-forward choice. Common variants and related forms include Rhyme, Rime, Rhymes, and Rhimes; sound-alike cross-cultural parallels include Rahim and Rhys. Interpretations emphasize "poetic harmony," "lyrical order," and the crystalline beauty of frost; some families also read it as "merciful," by association with Arabic Rahim.
