Anyone know any names that mean or relate to 'River'

[CurlyCasper]

Not PG yet, but this has been on my mind. For our own reasons, we'd quite like something that means or relates to river(s) but is not actually "River"

Any ideas (boys or girls)?

Failing that, other watery names....?

DD has the hebrew name Mayim, which means water

I keep thinking AFTON as in 'flow gently sweet Afton amang thy green braes'

Gwenllian - means 'white water' in Welsh. Tough to pronounce though, depending which side of the Severn you live on ...

More Sea related rather than River, but I know a boy called Reef and a girl called Coral. I should add they arent related!

Tanwyn - Welsh watery name

Or Tarn ?

India - The word "India" is a Western transliteration of the Sanskrit word "Sindhu," meaning "body of water." It specifically refers to what we know today as the Indus river, though the word could be used for any large body of water.

Irish boys name - Cuan (coo-en) Means safe harbour.

oldenglishspangles - my DD is called India and I'm ashamed I didn't know it came from Sindhu. Thought it somehow came from "Hind". Anyway, thank you as I now have yet another good reason for loving her name.

Thanks all so far. Lana has made it on to the list. Husband vetoed Tallulah

Cuan lovely (and relevant to me as I am from the same part of the world), buy we are having a girl.

Belle Happy to help - I think it is beautiful name.

Dylan - son of the sea
Cordelia - daughter of the sea

Lynn means waterfall or pool.

But it is a bit blah.

You could use it as a second name.

lynn is actually part of my own name....

Thanks again
