Rheie

Rheie is the Greek variant of Rhea. The name Rhea has an uncertain etymology, possibly derived from the Greek verb ῥέω (rheo) meaning "to flow" or the noun ἔρα (era) meaning "ground". In Greek mythology, Rhea was a Titaness, daughter of Uranus and Gaia, wife of Cronus, and mother of the Olympian deities: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia. She was often associated with fertility and the earth.

Notable Bearers in Mythology

In Roman mythology, a mortal woman named Rhea Silvia was the mother of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. This connection to dual mythologies gives the name historical and cultural depth.
