History & Origin

Dreama is an American word-coinage: the English word dream (Old English dream, which curiously once meant 'joy, music') given a feminine -a ending. It is associated particularly with Appalachia and the South, where such coinages have long flourished. It is a word-name rather than an inherited one, which we note (said 'DREE-muh').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, soft, and word-bright.
