River names from a Proto-Indo-European root (Danube, Donau, Don, Donets, etc.) which also manifests as the Greek Danaides and Danaë, both water-connected, and other European river goddesses such as Sequana and Marne. (I didn't get to Sínand / Shannon or Bóand / Boine, and the Britons and Gauls had many more river goddesses, so this stub is not exhaustive.)
Then we look at Iranian Anahita in the Zend Avesta, and the river Haraxvat, and her Indian counterpart Sarasvati. Danu as Mother of the Waters in Rg Veda, and her Balinese offshoot Dewi Danu. Luo Shen in China; the Pool of Malawi; and in Gabon, the Pool of Nyingwan Mebege. Yoruba river goddesses Oshun, Oya, and Yemaya (including her Diasporic transformation to orisha of the upper Ocean). Chalchiutlicue of the Aztecs, and some water sanctuaries in Colombia and Peru.
