"The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold." Genesis 2:11
The Qbible translates "winds through" as "borders." Havilah comes from the Hebrew word Chavilah. Some believe that Havilah is a region named after one of Noah's grandsons. So of the four rivers that branched off the river that flowed through Eden, the Pishon was the first.
