The Wurm is said to have got its name from the Celts who settled in the Aachen Basin. It is explained as a derivation of the word warm, which refers to the thermal springs from which the Wurm is partly fed (see also the derivation of the town name of Würselen). However, there is no conclusive evidence for this derivation.
Another possible explanation is an Old European formation with an m suffix to Indo-European *uer-, *our- with the meaning “water, rain, river”.
