Hydronomy

The name of this river comes from earlier Dacian Krísos, which meant "black"<ref>Katičic', Radislav. Ancient Languages of the Balkans, Part One. Paris: Mouton, 1976: 150.</ref>, making this a doublet (cf. Bulg čer "black", Old Church Slavonic čǐrnǔ, Old Prussian kirsnan, Albanian sorrë "raven") with Romanian negru "black".
