The term "mouth" refers to the estuary or river mouth, where a river meets the sea. While the Romans did influence place naming in Britain, particularly through Latin, the specific "mouth" suffix is rooted in the Germanic languages of the Anglo-Saxons. Thus, these names were not named by the Romans.
