Capitalized, as a placename, probably meaning 'stream' like rith, rithe:

  • 1878, Susan Warner, The Old Helmet, Etc. [With Illustrations.], page 61:
    [] stream of the Ryth, not so large as it became further down, sparkled along in a narrow meadow, beset with flowers. Here and there a rude bridge crossed it; and the walkers passed as they listed from side to side, wandering down ...
    • 1864, Susan Warner, The Old Helmet, volume 1, page 71:
      [] the Ryth; a beautiful clear little stream flowing brightly in a rich meadow ground, with gently shelving, softly broken sides; the initiation of the wilder scenery further down the valley.
