The name is pre-Roman and pre-Celtic, but probably of Indo-European origin, from the root ''*dreu̯-'' 'flow'.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Snoj |first1=Marko |title=Etimološki slovar slovenskih zemljepisnih imen |date=2009 |publisher=Modrijan |location=Ljubljana |page=124}}</ref> The river gives its name to the [[dravite]] species of [[tourmaline]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Deer |first1=William Alexander |last2=Howie |first2=Robert Andrew |last3=Zussman |first3=Jack |title=Rock-Forming Minerals: Volume 1B, Disilicates and Ring Silicates |date=1997 |publisher=The Geological Society |location=London |page=559}}</ref>

=== Carpis ===
The Carpis (Greek: Κάρπίς) was a river which, according to Herodotus,<ref>Hdt. 4.49.</ref> flowed from the upper country of the Ombricans northward into the Ister (Danube), whence it has been supposed that this river is the same as the Dravus.<ref>Smith, William, ed.
