Name
The name "Murn" comes from the Bavarian word Mur (sand) and could be translated as "sand stream". Murn is a feminine word in German ("Die Murn").
Geography
The source of the Murn is the confluence of the two brooks Surerbach and Surbrunner Bach near Kirchensur, Landkreis Rosenheim. It starts to flow southward with the name Murnbach (German Bach means "brook") and is named Murn with increasing width. It changes direction several times until it finally flows northward into the Inn near Obermühl in the municipality of Griesstätt.
