Origin of Vltava

From Czech Vltava, of uncertain origin; possibly cognate to Moldau, the German name for the river, as it is sometimes suggested that both words derive from Old High German * wilt awa, wilt aha (“wild river”), corresponding to Proto-Germanic *wilþijaz (“wild”) + *ahwō (“water”); older texts have spellings such as Fuldaha (in 872), Wultha (1113), Wlitaua (1125). However, compare Ltava.
