The Wern is a river in Bavaria, Germany. It is a right tributary of the river Main, which it joins in Wernfeld.
The name was written in the 8th century as Werma and around the year 1015 as Werina. It is likely derived from the Indo-European root wódr̥ (pronounced udéns ), which means water or rain.
