The Tauber is a river in southern Germany on both sides of the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. It rises at the western foot of the Franconian Heights, flows in a northwesterly direction for about 130 km through the Franconia region and flows into the Main from the left and southeast in Wertheim. It gave its name to the sub-region Tauberfranken that immediately surrounds it.

In the first documented mentions, the Tauber is referred to as tubri(gowe) (= Tauber(gau)) and dubra(goe).[10] The name is traced back to the Celtic word dubr (or plural: dubra) for water.

Other derivations explain it by Dubron (Celtic) with the meaning of fast-flowing water. The Celtic word dubr goes back to the Indo-European root dhav (= wash, stream), which is why one can assume that it means flowing water. In modern Welsh (Cymrisch), dwfr simply stands for the word water, which in Cornwall corresponds to the word dour (= dowr). Several place names such as Dover in Great Britain are considered to be anglicized forms of it. In Great Britain there is also the place name Doverdale (a parish near Droitwich, a place in Worcestershire), which not only sounds and looks similar to the word Taubertal, but probably has an analogous word origin (Dover and Tauber both come from Celtic Dubr-, Dale and Tal both later added Germanic explanatory word parts). Some also trace Tauber back to the Celtic word dubo (= black), but this is considered linguistic and factual.
