In Greek mythology, the Amazons (Αμαζόνες) were either an ancient legendary nation of female warriors or a land dominated by women at the outer edges of their known world. The legends appear to have a nugget of factual basis in warrior women among the Scythians, but classical Greeks never ceased to be astounded at such role-reversals. Women in classical Greek society were expected to be passive and dependent on males. In modern usage, the word is often used to refer to tall, strong, aggressive women.

amazons are a mythical tribe of fierce warrior women, they were known for being skilled archers and it was said they cut off one breast in order to be more accurate. they were reported to kidnap men to breed with but only kept the female offspring.

They were a mythical tribe of women warriors who cut off their left breast to be better archers.
I believe the region/river was named after this Greek myth.
