This is how a lot of historic locations got their names, funny enough. If you’re a hunter-gatherer tribe and you only have one river or whatever in travel distance, you’re probably just going to call it “the river” because it’s going to be obvious which one you’re talking about.

Perhaps the most famous examples being Torpenhow Hill, which can be translated as Hillhillhill Hill, or the River Avon which is the River River.
