German edit
Etymology edit
From or related to Medieval Latin Oddara, said by Udolph to be from Illyrian *Adra (“water vein”), related to Avestan 𐬀𐬛𐬎 (adu, “watercourse”), Thracian urda (“stream”), which could ultimately be from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eh₁t- (“to breathe”), which would make it a doublet of Ader (“vein, blood vessel”).[1][2][3] Folk etymology connected it to Polish drzeć (“to rend, penetrate, tear”) as in "break through to the sea."
