| Second one. It is a word in portuguese (maybe spanish too?) and it means "pray" (as in, religion). |

Just FYI--this man is an amazing photographer and put Reza on my short list of boy names because I admire his work so much:

I work with a Reza (a guy) and we pronounce it Ray-zah.
I actually really like this name for a girl. |

| Also Reeza. There was a restaurant that I used to got to a lot called Reza's and it was pronounced Reeza's. |

That's Raisa. As in Gorbachev. And Russian. Whereas Reza (however pronounced) is Persian. |
