Līva
Līva ((ドイツ語:Lyva, Lyua, Libau)) was a famous river in Kurzeme in today's Latvia. It was located between the Baltic Sea and Liepāja Lake and had a length of about 6 kilometres and a width near the mouth of about 50 metres. The source of the Līva was located in Liepāja Lake near the former Pērkone river. The place where the Līva fell into the Baltic Sea was located approximately at the site of today's northern harbour in Liepāja. The river had one known island, Perkunen ((ラトビア語:Pērkona galva));〔〔 it was located near the source of the river. The Līva served as a water trade way to Grobiņa via the Liepāja lake and the port was located on it. The original suburb with a name Līva was located about 1 kilometre from the mouth of the river on both sides of it. The old name for the city Liepāja descends from the name of the river〔 and for the centuries was associated with it. The part of the river near the mouth had become too shallow by the end of the 15th century. In the 16th century, the first Līva channel was dug up between Līva and Baltic Sea with a length of about 780 metres and a width of 50 metres. In 1697–1703, the new Trade channel was dug up and few years later the river was filled up.
== Etymology ==
The German name ''Lyva'' ((ラトビア語:Līva)) derived from Livonian language ''liiv'' — sand. The other sources offer alternative etymology for the name, Liva is the old name of Liepāja Lake〔 or a derivative from the Mari language ''lya'' (''lyva'') — sand shore, sand spit.〔 The name is also very similar to the German word for the love — ''liebe''.
