Mesopotamia is not a river, but a region. The name means between rivers and I believe potam is the "river" part, not tamia

The Greek word for "river" is "potamos", and of course someone may have had the idea of cutting off the "mesopo" part. But I'd rather try some TAM- names; this site has TAMIA as a short or of TAMAR(A), which sounds quite convincing to me.
