Is there a difference between the terms 'Nephilim' and 'Rephaim'?

Yes indeed. The term 'nephilim' is basically undefined but many associate it to a Hebrew verb meaning 'to fall' or a 'feller' of trees. It is only used pre-flood to describe a group of peoples in the times of great distress on the earth - probably warfare. Some scholars associate these 'humans' to the recent 2010 DNA analysis done on remains from Neanderthal Man. These find many similarities in the genetic code to simply say they were humans as well - albeit quite strong and probably very muscular with 'giant' strength.
On the other hand the 'Rephaim' or Emim (see Deuteronomy 2:11) or Zamzummin (see Deuteronomy 2:20) is used post-flood and refers to peoples of large frame - giants as we commonly would call them. Goliath was a famous giant.
