Oker
The Oker is a river in Lower Saxony, Germany, that has historically formed an important political boundary. It is a left tributary of the River Aller, in length and runs in a generally northerly direction.
== Origin and meaning of the name ==
The river's name was recorded around 830 as ''Obacra'' and, later, as ''Ovokare'' und ''Ovakara''.〔H. Blume: ''Oker, Schunter, Wabe.'' In: ''Braunschweigisches Jahrbuch für Landesgeschichte'', vol. 86, 2005, p. 14 sqq.〕 The origin of the name is derived from the roots ''ov-'' and ''-akara'' meaning “upper” (cf. New High German ''ober-'') and “onward rushing” (rendered in German as “Vorwärtsdrängende”) 〔 as distinct from its tributary, the Ecker, whose name means only “onward rushing”.
