Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Rea sa zvyčajne pokladá za podobu gréckeho mytologického mena Rheia (Ῥέα, Ῥεία), mena matky olympských bohov. Jeho pôvodný význam nie je spoľahlivo objasnený; už v antike sa meno druhotne spájalo so slovesom rheó „tečiem, prúdim“. Rea môže byť aj skrátenou podobou mien zakončených na -rea, najmä mena Andrea.
