Etymology. From Sanskrit gaṅgā, of uncertain ultimate origin. The word appears in Rigvedic Sanskrit (gaṅgā) and is likely connected to the root √gam 'to go', with the sense 'the flowing one' or 'she who goes', though this is not certain. The Ganges was a major geographical and religious landmark in the subcontinent, and the name may be pre-Indo-European in origin, absorbed into Sanskrit.
