The river MEAS is so dominant for the city, an early Roman settlement, that the name of the 874-kilometer-long river, whose source is in France, also shaped the city name: Maastricht.

The Maas (Latin Mosa, French Meuse, Walloon Moûze, Limburg Maos and Dutch Maas) is an approximately 874 kilometer long river that flows through France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Meuse flows into the southern main stream of the Rhine-Meuse delta, the Hollands Diep, and thus belongs to the river system of the Rhine. The Meuse is by far the longest tributary of the Rhine and the second richest in water after the Aare. She is also the godmother of the second longest tributary of the Rhine, the Moselle (Latin Mosella: "Kleine Maas").

Maastricht originated at a fordable location on the river Maas, to which it owes its name (Maastricht = Mosa Trajectum = passage through the Maas).
