looks yellow
Huang is the sound of a Chinese character, which means the colour yellow. Huang (yellow) He (river) is so named because of its silt, which is yellow in colour. Huang is also the Mandarin sound for a Chinese surname, which may also be spelled "Wong" because of the Cantonese dialect sound.
Huang He is called Huang he because the soil made the whole river yellow. In china, Huang means yellow, and he means river, so, in english it is called the yellow river.

It supplies so many Chinese inhabitants with water. It also is used for the irrigation of 18 million acres, more than 15 percent of Chinas farmland. Without it China would be almost inhabitable.
The Huang River, also known as the Yellow River, is often called "China's Sorrow" due to its historical tendency to cause devastating floods. These floods have resulted in significant loss of life and property damage throughout Chinese history. The river's high sediment load and tendency to change course unpredictably have made it a constant challenge for flood control and management efforts.
Called so by the upper river people Monomatapa, named also Cuama and Zembere
Because back in the 1900's During the Cold War, Asians didnt have enough money to pay their water bill due to war taxes, so instead of taking showers at home, they went for a bath in a river once known as the Port of China. The chinese swam in it so much that it became yellow like them and later it became known as the Yellow River. Amen to that.

The volume of sediment in the Huang He, mostly yellow loess, raised the river bottom so that it was higher than the surrounding lands, and the river overflowed its banks.
