Etymology
The word 'Ρώσος' originates from the Byzantine Greek term 'Ρῶσος', which referred to the people of Rus', a historical region that included parts of modern-day Russia and Ukraine. The term is derived from the name of the Varangians, a group of Norsemen who settled in the area and established trade routes.
