Frank R.A.J. Maloney:

BTW, the original Moscow was named after the Moskva river, but the
origin of that word is disputed. One common etymology derives it from
the Slavic for "boggy, swampy". However, another theory links it to the
Urgo-Finnish for "cow's river" or "bear". But "city of brotherly love"
is not an interpretation I've never run into before.

I live for stuff like this.
