==Etymology== One theory is that the name ''Isar'' stems from ''*es'' or ''*is'' in the [[Indo-European languages]], meaning "flowing water", and later turned into a word with a meaning narrowed to frozen water (hence English ''ice'', {{langx|de|Eis}}) in [[Proto-Germanic]]. The name itself is mentioned for the first time in 763 as ''Isura''.<ref>{{citation|author1=Martin Bitschnau | author2= Hannes Obermair|title=Tiroler Urkundenbuch. II.
