"Ῥέα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Ῥέα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /r̥é.aː/, /ˈre.a/, /ˈre.a/, /r̥é.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈre.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈre.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈre.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈre.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Of disputed origin, with several theories suggested and none widely accepted, such as a connection to ἔρα (éra, “ground”) (see ἔραζε (éraze)), ῥέω (rhéō, “flow”, verb), or simply Pre-Greek/Minoan. Less likely, cognate with Sanskrit रसा (Rasā́) and Avestan 𐬭𐬀𐬢𐬵𐬁 (Raŋhā), names of a mythical river (for Proto-Indo-Iranian *HrasáH), derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rṓs; see ἐρωή (erōḗ) for this or a similar root.
