Meaning & Story
A variant of Rhea, the Greek Titan goddess of the earth, mother of the Olympian gods, meaning ease or flow.
Rheia is the ancient Greek spelling of Rhea — one of the original Titans, she was the mother of Zeus, Hera, and the other Olympian gods, making her one of the most fundamental figures in all of Greek mythology. Her name carries meanings of flow, ease, and the generative power of the earth. For a female pet, Rheia has a mythological grandeur that sits surprisingly lightly — it sounds graceful rather than heavy, divine rather than distant. It suits a dog or cat with a calm, maternal energy and a presence that naturally centers any room.
