词源

From Russian Днестр (Dnestr), Ukrainian Дністер (Dnister), pre-reform orthography Днѣстръ (Dněstr), ultimately (compare Byzantine Greek Δάναστρις (Dánastris) and Late Latin Danaster) from Proto-Sarmatian *dānu *nazdya "the close river" (the Dnieper being the far one). The first element is from Proto-Indo-European *déh₂nu (“river”), found in several other river names such as Danube and Донец (Donec); more at Danube.
