"Rur" meaning in German

See Rur in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ʁuːʁ/, [ʁu(ː)ɐ̯] Forms: die Rur [canonical, feminine], der Rur [definite, genitive]
Etymology: From Middle High German Rure, Roir. Until the earlier 20th century, the spellings Roer, Ruhr, Rur were all used, Rur being actually the rarest. It then became standardised, however, because it was more German-looking than Roer and avoided confusion with the Westphalian Ruhr (which latter had by that time become widely known nationally and internationally because of the Ruhr Area). Etymology templates: {{inh|de|gmh|Rure}} Middle High German Rure Head templates: {{de-proper noun|f.article}} die Rur f (proper noun, usually definite, definite genitive der Rur)
