From French Dnieper, from Russian Днепр (Dnepr), from Old East Slavic Дънѣпръ (Dŭněprŭ), from Proto-Slavic *Dъněprъ, from Proto-Sarmatian *Δānāfr (literally “deep river”). Doublet of Dnipro and Danasper. See also Latin Danapris and Ancient Greek Δάναπρις (Dánapris).
the Dnieper
Dnieper used to be the more common name of the river, but now Dnipro is more popular in English-language sources. Dnieper can be also used to distinguish the upper reaches of the river in Russia and Belarus as opposed to its lower course through Ukraine.
