Several rivers in Iowa bear names derived from Native American languages. Notable examples include the Des Moines River, which comes from the French interpretation of the Sioux name "Moingona," and the Wapsipinicon River, derived from the Meskwaki language meaning "river of the black willows." Other rivers with Native American names include the Iowa River, which is named after the Iowa tribe, and the Maquoketa River, originating from the Meskwaki word meaning "the place of the bear."
