Etymologically, the name "Euphrates" is the Greek form of the original name, Phrat, which means "fertilizing" or "fruitful". Alternatively, the second half of the word Euphrates may also derive from either the Persian Ferat or the Greek φÎÏω (pronounced [fero]), both of which mean "to carry" or "to bring forward".
