Etymology

From Latvian Rīga, of disputed origin:

  • Possibly a form of Riege, the German name for the Rīdzene, a tributary of the Daugava river.
  • Possibly from rija (threshing barn), the j becoming a g in German (note that English geographer Richard Hakluyt calls the city Rie in 1589, and that German historian Dionysius Fabricius confirms in 1610 the origin of Rīga from rija).
