The Schwabach is a nearly 33 km long river in Franconia, which flows into the Regnitz from the right in Erlangen. It is a second-order body of water. The Schwabach was first mentioned in writing in 1021 as suuabaha. The original ending -aha means "flowing water" in Old High German. The defining word may be derived from the Germanic root *swab-, meaning "(of the water) to beat back and forth, to surge, to slosh." An interpretation as "body of water where Swabians live" is difficult from a linguistic point of view.
