There exist legends, stories and histories of some origins so ancient that they go back to the epoch of the Vikings. This fact can be valid or not, but as it turns out to be almost impossible to confirm it with facts however much we try it, we will repair then in what if it is possible to contrast with papers, as they must do the things. That's why we will begin for the origin of the name and the first written historical references in that Town appears .
Place name of rinlo
The name of this town, rinlo, is not any more than a diminutive one of river, from which it stems. And consideration should not deserve his special study if it was not because his clear one etymological relation with the Latin word "rivus" (river) there is obscurecido due to the diverse phonetic alterations that over the course of time he has suffered.
His prepositions correspond to the Latin word "rivus" "ellus", "illus", to form with them his diminutive "rivullus" or "rivillus" and to refer this way to the smallness of a river, as we do with his Castilian equivalent "river" and "creek".
