Sergei, if the waters took their name from an IE goddess of the
waters, we have a complete hydronymy going back to PIE based on Danu.
The explanation then does not have to be Scythian, although the
Scythians, as Indo-Iranians probably worshipped the same goddess as
the Hindu Danu (goddess of the Asuras) too.

Thus we don't have to try to connect Iranians to Latin Diana,
Greek Dione, Welsh Don and Irish Dana. Rather the connection could
be
Indo European generally.
