The English name "Nile" and the Arabic names "en-Nîl" and "an-Nîl" both derive from the Latin ' and the Ancient Greek . Beyond that, however, the etymology is disputed. Hesiod at his "Theogony" refers that Nilus (Νεῖλος) was one of the Potamoi (river gods), son

Alternatively, according to Vasily Abaev "Dnister" would be a blend of Scythian "dānu" "river" and Thracian "Ister", the previous name of the river, literally Dān-Ister (River Ister).

According to another interpretation "ys" may mean "high" as well as "low", referring to the rapidly changing water level in the river Isar. In the ancient settlement area of the Celts several related river names can be found: It may be possible that the ancient name of the lower part of the river Danube, Ister, has the same source.

The same town in antiquity was known as "Ἀξίοπα" ("Axiopa") or "Ἀξιούπολις" ("Axioupolis") and its river as the "Ἀξιός" ("Axios"). The working assumption is that "Axiopa" meant "black water" in Dacian, on the basis that Cernavodă is probably a calque of the ancient Dacian name.
