Etymology

From Ukrainian Дніпро́ (Dnipró) and earlier Днѣпръ (Dnipr), from Old East Slavic Дънѣпръ (Dŭněprŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Dъněprъ, from Old Ossetic *dānu apara (“the far river”) or *dānapr (“the deep river”). The former derivation would pair it with the Dnister (“Near River”), while the latter would refer to its lack of fords. Doublet of Dnieper and Danasper. As a city, originally a clipping of Dnipropetrovsk, formally adopted as the town's name in 2016 as part of general decommunization of placenames. Its oblast has not yet followed suit because it is mentioned by name in the Ukrainian constitution.

Usage notes

Formerly, the more common English name of this river was Dnieper. Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, nearly all Western media began adopting the Ukrainian form of the name. Alternatively, the name can be used to distinguish the lower stretches of the river through Ukraine, as opposed to its upper reaches in Russia and Belarus.
