The Umia River is a river in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, flowing through the province of Pontevedra (Galicia, Spain). According to the linguist Edelmiro Bascuas, Umia would derive from the Paleo-European stem *um-, formed from the Indo-European root *wegw- 'wet, to wet'. This root has a recognised presence in Galician hydronymy (río Uma, río Mao, Acea de Ama, etc.).
