A possible ancient name by Ptolemy of the Pregolya River is Chronos (from Germanic *hrauna, "stony")[citation needed], although other theories identify Chronos as a much larger river, the Nemunas.[citation needed]
The oldest recorded names of the river are Prigora (1302), Pregor (1359), Pregoll, Pregel (1331), Pregill (1460). Georg Gerullis connected the name with Lithuanian prãgaras, pragorė̃ ("abyss") and the Lithuanian verb gérti ("drink"). Vytautas Mažiulis instead derived it from spragė́ti or sprógti ("burst") and the suffix -ara ("river").[1]
