Rhema is a Greek word meaning "utterance" or "spoken word"; in the New Testament it is used for the spoken word of God, which is why it is cherished in charismatic and Pentecostal churches. It is chosen almost exclusively by Christian families and is far more common as a name in the United States than in Greece. Rhema has risen from around number 3700 in 2015 to number 1766 among girls' names in 2025, its best rank yet.
