It is the correct etymology. 2601:601:1B80:8040:4F77:9D09:6CAD:B0D6 (talk) 09:44, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

The current entry is false, that is not the correct name origin. My edit is the correct name origin of the Mekong river.

The Mekong gets its English name from Khmer: មេគង្គ Mékôngk.[1] មេ /mee/me/ means mother[2] and គង្គ /kʊəŋkeaʔ/Kong/ means Ganga.[3] The literal meaning of “Mekong” is “Mother Ganga”. Kong is a borrowing into Khmer language of the Sanskrit word “Ganga”. The Mekong is named after Hindu Godess Ganga, the name sake of the river Ganges. 2601:601:1B80:8040:4F77:9D09:6CAD:B0D6 (talk) 12:20, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
