A flowing stream
In Greek mythology, Rhea was the Mother of the Gods and a Titaness, representing the eternal flow of time and generations. The name is derived from the Greek word 'rheo', meaning to flow, which connects it to both nature and the passage of time. It has seen a modern revival as parents look for short, mythological names that feel both ancient and fresh.
