Elsava
Elsava is a right tributary of the Main in the administrative districts Aschaffenburg and Miltenberg in the Bavarian Spessart. It flows into the river Main in Elsenfeld. The short section upstream from to Mespelbrunn is called Kaltenbach. Name. The original name "Elsapha" is descended from the Old High German word "Els" for alder and the Indogermanic word "Ap" what meant water. As an explanation "watercourse surrounded by alders" arises from it. The river gave the municipality Elsenfeld the name. The river Aschaff flowing nearby (from "Ascapha" meaning "ash water") has also the same name origin.
