"etymology_text": "From Latvian Rīga, of disputed origin:\n* Possibly from Livonian ringa (“loop”), referring to the ancient natural harbor formed by the tributary loop of the Daugava river.\n* Possibly a form of Riege, the German name for the Rīdzene, a tributary of the Daugava river.\n* Possibly from rija (“threshing barn”), the j becoming a g in German (note that English geographer Richard Hakluyt calls the city Rie in 1589, and that German historian Dionysius Fabricius confirms in 1610 the origin of Rīga from rija).",
