What is an island in a river called?

Answer 1

A river island.
River islands occur in river deltas and in large rivers. They are caused by deposition of sediment at points in the flow where the current loses some of its carrying capacity. In essence, they are river bars, isolated in the stream. While some are ephemeral, and may disappear if the river's water volume or speed changes, others are stable and long-lived.
The Bananal Island, in the State of Tocantins -Brazil , is the world's biggest river island.
Bananal Island (Portuguese: Ilha do Bananal) is a large island in the state of Tocantins in Brazil.

Formed by two branches of the Araguay, Bananal is the largest river island in the world (at 20,000 km², it is twice the size of Lebanon or Jamaica).

An Ait (or Eyot) is a riverine island in England. They are formed by the deposition of sediment that build over a period of time. Aits usually have a bar shape and may become islands. Some are known to be eroded however, the sediment is deposited further down the river to create another ait. A channel with numerous aits is called a braided channel.
