The Danube is a very calm river. You can't just rely on current to drive a boat, as it mostly doesn't exist.
The Danube river is navigated by sailing enthusiasts who prefer a calm river, not fast and rushing, not with difficult and steep descents.
The origin of his name, like all today's etymologies with political-ideological linguistic influences, starts like: whose name was known to the ancient "Greek" as Istros (Ἴστρος) from a root that can also be found in the ancient name Danaster in Latin , and is thought by modern linguists to come from PIE *isro-, *sreu 'to flow'.
They also connect it with other names such as Tyros, Tiras, etc. which, in my opinion, are not related to Istros and Danastër.
Romanian differs from other surrounding languages in designating the river with a feminine term, Dunărea (IPA: [ˈdunəre̯a]). This form is thought by some linguists not to have been inherited from Latin, although Romanian is a Romance language. To explain the loss of the Latin name, scholars who assume that Romanian developed near the great river propose that the name Romanian derives from a hypothetical Thracian *Donaris. The Proto-Indo-European root of this putative name is related to the Iranian word "don-"/"dan-", while the putative suffix -aris is found in the ancient name of the river Ialomița, Naparis, and in unidentified.
While in Albanian it has ended as Tuna according to a book from 1981 which is connected with Turkish Tuna, as usual in the theory of borrowings. (Kozma Vasili; Arsen Mustaqi, eds. (1981), Folk lyrics [Folk lyrics], Albanian Folklore (in Albanian), vol. 4, Tirana: Academy of Sciences of the RPS of Albania, Institute of Popular Culture, Department of Prose and Poezise, p. 624, Tuna-a river of the Danube).
About 2,000 years ago, the Danube formed the northern border of the Roman Empire. The Romans erected a chain of fortifications for security along the river. The Limes have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021 and demonstrate that borders do not only divide, but that they can also connect. If we go back to AD 150, and all of Lower Austria south of the Danube is conquered by the Romans. The region east of the Vienna Woods belonged to the province of Pannonia, and to the west it was part of the province of Noricum. Germanic tribes settle north of the Danube, especially the Marcomanni. In response, the Romans built numerous watchtowers and military camps on the banks of the Danube to secure their northern border. These were the so-called Danube Lim. (DAN Bë LUM)
The Danube has been the border of the Roman empire. The stretch of the Danube bank downstream to the mouth of the Alutus River ceased to be an imperial boundary for more than 150 years.
After the evacuation of the province of Dacia in the reign of the emperor Aurelian (AD 271-275) the Danube again marked the north-eastern border of the Roman Empire. The section of the Danube Limes that belonged to present-day Bulgaria was used as a water border of the province of Moesia Secunda (to the east) within the diocese of Thrace and of Dacia Ripensis (to the west) within the diocese of Dacia. The Asamus River (today's Osami) was the border, separating not only the two dioceses, but also the two prefectures..jpg)

The borders of the Roman Empire, which fluctuated throughout the empire's history, were realized as a combination of military roads and connected forts, natural borders, and most notably the Rhine and Danube rivers.
The two names Istros and Danube come from different roots of the Albanian language.

The two names Istros and Danube come from different roots of the Albanian language.
Etymology of ISTROS
ISTROS=
I STROS=
I SHTROS=S>SH
I SHTRO=S ending, or a form of the verb os=is, same as *is, us, as, es.
I SHTRU= O>U
The origin comes from the old Albanian language "i shtru", paved river, calm river. The ancestors of the Albanians knew this river well because they had their settlements near it for thousands of years.
Etymology of Latin DANASTER
DANASTER=
DAN AST ER=ER end
DAN ASHT=S>SH
The origin comes from the old Albanian language "DAN" which means *divides and the verb "asht" as an auxiliary verb in the word formation. It is divisive, it is because it was the border of the Roman Empire, where the lands were divided by the countries beyond the empire. The Danube separated the lands of the empire from the lands beyond. The Danube was the divider.
All other etymological explanations I think have to do with politics, ideology mixed with the influence of religions on linguistics and not at all with etymology and linguistics.
