Rhenus

Rhenus is the Latin name for the Rhine River, one of Europe’s major waterways, which flows from the Swiss Alps northward to the North Sea. In classical literature and medieval geography the river is commonly referred to as Rhenus. The Latin form appears in historical documents, academic writings, and map labeling to denote the Rhine and related regions.

In modern usage, Rhenus is used as a proper name by various organizations and brands, most notably by the Rhenus Group, a German multinational logistics company. Rhenus provides transport and logistics services such as freight forwarding, contract logistics, warehousing, port handling, and supply chain solutions, operating through a global network of offices and operations.

The term can also appear in place names, institutions, or cultural references that derive from or honor the Rhine. When encountered without context, Rhenus typically indicates a Latin or historical reference to the river or a modern homage through branding or nomenclature.
