Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Most likely from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ri-né-H-ti (to undulate, churn) (nasal-infix present), a form supported by cognates Sanskrit रिणाति (rinā́ti, to make turbulent, cause to flow), Ancient Greek ὀρί̄νω (orí̄nō, to churn up), and Russian ри́нуться (rínutʹsja, to rush).

Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *h₃r̥-néw-ti (to flow, move, run).

Cognates outside Germanic include Middle Irish rian (river, way), Proto-Slavic *rěka (river), Latin rivus (stream), Sanskrit ऋति (ṛti, course, way), and Gaulish Rēnos (that which flows), which is the source of the name of the river Rhine.
