==Names== This river does not belong to the basin of the larger river Neman, but the two rivers' names are related in several languages: in Lithuanian, "Nemunėlis" is a diminutive form of "Nemunas" (Neman) in German, "Memel" is used for both the Neman River and the city of Klaipėda, and "Memele" is its diminutive form in Latvian, the river is called "Mēmele", possibly derived from German, or directly from Old Prussian in which it is thought to mean "surrounded by water" in Estonian, it is called "Memele jõgi"
