Etymology

1530s, from Medieval Latin Russi (the people of Russia), from Old East Slavic Русь (Rusĭ, Rus) (whence Арапски رُوس (rūs) and Byzantine Greek Ῥῶς (Rhôs)), which originally referred to a group of Varangians who established themselves near Kiev in the 9th century and ruled Kievan Rus; probably from Proto-Finnic *roocci, from Old East Norse *roþs- (related to rowing); related to Old Norse Roþrslandi (the land of rowing), an older name of Roslagen, where the Finns first encountered the Swedes. Ultimately from Old Norse róðr (steering oar), from Пра-Германски *rōþrą (rudder), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁- (to row).
