Etymology
"Delta" comes from Ancient Greek δήλτα (dēlta), referring to the triangular shape of river mouths. "Ebre" is the Catalan name of the Ebro River, derived from Latin Iberus, which likely comes from an ancient Iberian root meaning "river".
Memory Aid
It combines the term for a river mouth landform (delta) with the Catalan name of the river, so just connect the name to the location on the Ebro River.
