Etymology

[edit]

From archaic roots (Swede), from Proto-Finnic *roocci [1] (around 8th-9th century AD; very late, possibly even post-Proto-Finnic), borrowed from Old East Norse *roþs- (related to rowing) (compare Old Swedish *roþs-, modern Swedish ro (to row)), possibly as part of the word rōþskarl, rōþsmän (rower). The name is also connected to Old Norse Roþrslandi (the land of rowing), the older name of Roslagen.[2] The word is ultimately from Old Norse róðr (steering oar), from Proto-Germanic *rōþrą (rudder), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁reh₁- (to row).

Finnic cognates include Finnish Ruotsi, Livvi Ruočči ((Lutheran) Finland), Veps Ročinma and Võro Roodsi. Old East Slavic Русь (Rusĭ) (whence Byzantine Greek Ρωσσία (Rōssía)), the original form of the endonym of Russians that originally referred to a tribe of Varangians, is borrowed from Finnic.
