Etymology
Rus comes from the medieval ethnonym Rus', the name of the people and state associated with Kievan Rus'. Romanian took the word, like most European languages, from this same root, most likely through Slavic or French mediation. The ultimate origin of Rus' itself is disputed among historians and linguists, so no single ancestral root can be stated with confidence.
