Dhonau is very close in spelling to Donau, which is the German name for the river Danube, the second longest river in Europe.

Where's the nominative determinism here?

I found it interesting that a person with expertise in flood resilience had a last name which is very close to Donau, the German name for Danube, the second longest river in Europe.

Ah ok, did not know that Donau was Danube, worth adding that in the description for the non-German speakers!
