A river in honor of a city or a city in honor of a river?
This issue is still being discussed today, but most historians are convinced that it was the river, not the city, that got its name first. One of the theories claims that the word "Moscow" itself is Finnish, and has nothing to do with Russian speech. Consequently, the river got its name during the habitation of Finnish tribes on its banks. "Mosk" in translation means "bear", and "wa" - "water". Another popular version - in the ancient Slavic name of the Mosva River means damp or marshy area.
