  • Byelorussian (also spelled Belorussian, Bielorussian) – derived from the Russian-language name of the country "Byelorussia" (Russian: Белоруссия, romanized: Belorussiya, lit. 'White Russia'), used officially (in the Russian language) in the times of the USSR (1922–1991) and, later, in the Russian Federation[citation needed].
  • White Russian[1] or White Ruthenian (and its equivalents in other languages) – literally, a word-by-word translation of the parts of the composite word Belarusian. The term "White Ruthenian" with reference to language has appeared in English-language texts since at least 1921. The oldest one, Latin term "Albae Russiae, Poloczk dicto" is recorded in 1381.[2]
