ArchivesRe: information regarding the spelling variant of Rhea
in reply to a message by rguckin
With "this particular spelling" you mean Rhea but without h? Such minor variants in spelling normally do not have a separate identifiable history, so that you could say e.g. "Rea in constrast to Rhea only became popular because of ..." or "became popular in the 17th century, first in ... and then in ...".
As the post of Miss Claire already indicates, certainly a spelling variant does not give a different meaning.
Articles like this one:

show that Rea as a form must be pretty old.
