The Yellow River is, in English, usually referred to as "The Yellow River." Huang He / Hwang Ho which translates to its Chinese name 黃河 meaning "Queen river" has also been called "the cradle of Chinese Civilization" because the area it flows through was the most prosperous in early Chinese history. Frequent flooding has also earned it the nickname "Chinas Sorrow"

It gets its name from a phenomena which stirs up a yellowish murky hue in its waters at certain parts of its course. Because of this sometimes it is also referred to as "the muddy flow" and the Chinese phrase "when the Yellow River flows clear" is used similar to our "when pigs fly" phrase.
