Rhymah is in Origin.

Rhymah is a modern, stylistic spelling most closely tied to two roots. From Greek rhema (ῥῆμα), it carries the theological sense of “spoken word” or “utterance,” especially God’s active word in the New Testament. It also echoes the Arabic name Rima/Reema (related to Reem), derived from rim, “gazelle” or “white antelope,” a poetic emblem of grace and gentleness in Arabic literature. The inserted y lends contemporary flair and signals the long “ee” vowel in many pronunciations.

As a given name, Rhema gained currency among English-speaking Christian communities in the later 20th century, while Rima/Rimah has longstanding use across the Arab world and diaspora; the literary heroine Rima in W. H. Hudson’s Green Mansions further familiarized the form in the West. Variants and cognates include Rhema, Rhima, Rima, Reema, Rimah, Reem, and Rema; nicknames may be Rhy, Rimi, or Mae. The name is typically feminine.
