From Celtic, deriving from Proto-Celtic *mosā, of uncertain origin; possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mā- (“to stupefy”) in the sense of the river's tortuousness, cognate with Proto-Germanic *masōną (“to confound, be weary, dream”) (modern English maze), Welsh mydu (“to vault, arch”), Old Norse meis (“curvatura”).
Or, Albrecht Greule writes that it could perhaps be from *meh₂d-, whence Latin madeō (“to be wet”) and Ancient Greek μεστός (mestós, “full”).
Compare also Proto-Germanic *Masō (Dutch Maas), presumably from the same source.
