Etymology

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Lewis & Short gives *Bryazontis as the genitive, which suggests that this name derives from an Ancient Greek present active participle (compare amethystizōn, horizōn, poppyzōn, etc.). *Βρυάζων (Bruázōn) would be a plausible candidate, being a substantivisation of βρῠάζων (bruázōn, “swelling”, “teeming”), the present active participle of βρῠάζω (bruázō, “I swell”, “I teem”), since many rivers swell and teem; however, is the substantivisation attested?”
