Rus (name)

Wikipedia

• Ruś — Łacinka (Belarusian Latin alphabet)

Inherited from Old Ruthenian Русь (Rusʹ).

• IPA^(key):

Русь • (Rusʹ) f inan (genitive Ру́сі or Русі́, uncountable, relational adjective ру́скі)

1. Rus
2. Kievan Rus

   Кі́еўская Русь ― Kíjeŭskaja Rusʹ ― Kievan Rus

3. Ruthenia, "Old Russia"

• Ру́ская зямля́ (Rúskaja zjamljá)

• Бе́лая Русь (Bjélaja Rusʹ, “White Ruthenia, White Russia, Belarus”)
• Чырво́ная Русь (Čyrvónaja Rusʹ, “Red Ruthenia”) (Eastern Galicia)
• Чо́рная Русь (Čórnaja Rusʹ, “Black Ruthenia”)
• Кі́еўская Русь (Kíjeŭskaja Rusʹ, “Kievan Rus”)

Borrowing from an ethnonym Proto-Finnic *roocci with the meaning (“people from the coast of Roþrin (‘administrative subdivision in coastal Eastern Sweden’)”), while its native Scandinavian equivalent is not attested.^[1] The Finnic word, which refers to the Swedes (Germanic tribe), and later the whole of Sweden, is in turn borrowed from Old East Norse *roþs- (see Finnish Ruotsi for more). Compare Old East Slavic Сумь (Sumĭ), borrowed from Proto-Finnic *soomi. The Old East Slavic proper noun Русь is first recorded in the 12th-century Primary Chronicle. Older attestations of the same name in Greek, Latin and Arabic date to the 9th and 10th centuries. More at Rus.

Русь (Rusĭ) f (genitive Руси)

1. (collectively) Name of a group of Varangians, the ruling class in the principalities of Rus.
   • Hypatian Codex

     Афетово же колѣно и то Варѧзи . Свеи . Оурманє . Готѣ . Русь . Аглѧнѣ . Галичанѣ . Волохове . Римлѧнѣ . Нѣмци . Корлѧзи . Венедици . Фрѧговѣ . и прочии присѣдѧть ѿ запада къ полуденью. и съсѣдѧтсѧ съ племенем̑ Хамовомъ.

     Afetovo že kolěno i to Varęzi . Svei . Urmane . Gotě . Rusĭ . Aglęně . Galičaně . Voloxove . Rimlęně . Němci . Korlęzi . Venedici . Fręgově . i pročii prisědętĭ otŭ zapada kŭ poludenĭju. i sŭsědętsę sŭ plemenem̑ Xamovomŭ.

     The offspring of Japheth were the Varangians, Swedes, Norsemen, Goths, Rusĭ, Angles, Galicians, Vlachs, Romans, Germans, Korlyazi , Venetians, Fryazi and others. In the west they are ajacent to the southern countries, and neighbours with the Hamites.

   • Hypatian Codex s.a. 6370 (862)

     идоша за море к Варѧгом̑ . к Руси . сіце бо звахуть . ты Варѧ̑гы Русь . ꙗко се друзии зовутсѧ Свеє . друзии же Оурмани . Аньглѧне . инѣи и Готе . тако и си ркоша.

     idoša za more k Varęgom̑ . k Rusi . sice bo zvaxutĭ . ty Varę̑gy Rusĭ . jako se druzii zovutsę Sveje . druzii že Urmani . Anĭglęne . iněi i Gote . tako i si rkoša.

     And they went overseas to the Varangians, to the Rusĭ. These particular Varangians were known as Rusĭ, just as some are called Swedes, and others Normans and Angles, and still others Gotlanders, for they were thus named.

2. (collectively) Inhabitants of Rus; East Slavic people.

   Synonym: Русьскаꙗ землꙗ (Rusĭskaja zemlja)

Русь (Rusĭ) is the collective plural for the Varangian elite ruling Rus, the Old East Slavic state. A single individual is called a русинъ (rusinŭ), whence modern Russian руси́н (rusín, “Ruthenian”). While the Rus-Byzantine treaty of AD 911 is unclear on whether "Rus" refers just to the ruling elite or to the entire population, the treaty of 944 is explicit on the point that the "Rus" are "all people of the Rus land" (русьскаꙗ землꙗ (rusĭskaja zemlja)).
