Flowing, or queen
Rhaya is a modern spelling variant likely derived from the Greek name Rhea, meaning 'flowing,' or the Sanskrit name Raya, meaning 'queen' or 'possessions.' It combines a soft, melodic sound with a sense of ancient mythology and regal elegance. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a unique but familiar-sounding name.
