|wketx=The modern name of [[Guadalquivir]] comes from the Arabic al-wādī l-kabīr (اَلْوَادِي الْكَبِيرْ), meaning "the big river". There was a variety of names for the Guadalquivir in Classical and pre-Classical times. According to [[Titus]] [[Livius]] ([[Livy]]), The History of Rome, Book 28, the native people of [[Tartessians]] or [[Turdetanians]] called the [[river]] by two names: [[Certis]] (Kertis) and Rherkēs ([[Ῥέρκης]]). Greek geographers sometimes called it "the river of [[Tartessos]]", after the city of that name. The Romans called it by the name [[Baetis]] (which was the basis for name of the province of Hispania Baetica).
