Rhema

Rhema comes from the Greek word rhēma, referring to something spoken, an utterance, or a statement. The word appears in the Greek New Testament, giving it a particular significance for many Christian families. Its use as a personal name draws on that religious and linguistic background rather than on a named biblical character.

Some Christian traditions use rhema when discussing a spoken or personally received word of God. The exact theological emphasis varies between communities, so that association is broader than a single dictionary translation. The initial rh reflects a traditional way of writing a Greek sound in Latin letters. Rhema can therefore combine a direct word meaning with a more personal connection to faith and scripture.
