Danubian

/dəˈnuːbiən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or located near the Danube River, Europe's second-longest river that flows through ten countries.

Etymology

From Danube, the river's English name derived from Latin Danubius, which itself came from Celtic roots. The adjective form -ian was added to create a geographical descriptor used since the 18th century.

Kelly Says

The Danube connects more countries than any other river in the world, and its cultures are so different that the same river separates Western Europe from Eastern Europe—making it one of geography's most important borderlines.
