Could "lerma" be a variation of yerma?
Could the word "Lerma" in "Rio Lerma", as the name of a Mexican restaurant, be a variation of the word "yerma"?

I doubt it because Lerma is actually a Spanish, I believe, name.
So many possibilities. I know " Lerma" as a proper name here in México. It could be that the "Lerma" family lived on that river once upon a time.
