Even when she’s not cutting a promo or going at it in the WWE ring, Rhea Ripley says she uses her stage name. In an interview with “The Ringer Wrestling Show” in May 2023, Ripley said that she often refers to herself as Rhea, rather than her real name. “I say Rhea. Always,” she responded when asked what name she uses whenever she introduces herself. “I always say Rhea, even when ordering at Starbucks. It’s Rhea. Everything.” She went on to say that only a few people actually use her real name, save for her family back home in Australia. “Rhea is such a confident person where, like, in my everyday life, I am quite shy and quiet,” she explained. “So, I wanna bring Rhea into my normal life as well as I want her confidence. So I think I just live through my character sometimes because it’s the more confident version of myself that I don’t get to be all the time,” she added.
As for the meaning of the name Rhea, it comes from the Greek word for “a flowing stream.” Rhea’s birth name, Demi, is French for the word “half.” The name also has a Greek origin and stems from the Greek goddess Demeter — in this version, the name translates to “earth mother.”
