The Jouanne (French pronunciation: [ʒwan]) is a 58.5 km (36.4 mi) long river in western France located in the department of Mayenne, region of Pays de la Loire. It is a tributary of the river Mayenne on the left side, and so is a sub-tributary of the Loire by Mayenne and Maine.[1]

History

The name of Jouanne probably goes back to the Gaulish form div-onna (divine-water). The evolution of Divonne is exactly the same as that of divrnus which engendered day in modern French.[2]
