The Cerna (also: Cerna Hunedoreană or Cerna Ardeleană, Hungarian: Cserna-patak) is a left tributary of the river Mureș in Transylvania, Romania.[1][2] Its name both in Romanian and Hungarian languages originates from a Slav language, meaning "black (water)". Its source is in the Poiana Ruscă Mountains.
