Etymology:

Disputed, either:

Guaraní uruá, y (literally “water snail”), from uruá (“apple snail”) +‎ y (“water”); or

Guaraní uru (quail), gua, y (literally “quail living by the river”) from uru (“quail”) +‎ gua (“from”) +‎ y (“water”).

Quail are upland birds, so Snail River is the likely explanation.
