River Yeo
There are several rivers called the Yeo in the West Country of England. Yeo is from a Saxon word ēa, meaning simply "river", "stream", or "water" district (cf. French l'eau), but the South Somerset Yeo is derived from a Celtic word gifl, meaning 'forked river'.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
