Etymology

Rhibhus comes from the old Sanskrit root ṛbhú, which means 'skillful' or 'clever' and was used in India for special makers in Hindu stories. So the Rhibhus are remembered as three divine craftsmen who make tools and rituals for the gods, and the name now helps us remember them as 'skilled makers'.
