Ptolemy recorded the river's Pre-Germanic name as en Silana, which is reflected in the name Silenen. The Germanic name for the river is attested as en Rusa or en Rusia from the 9th century, and was occasionally recorded as en Ursa in the Early Modern period (compare en Urseren). This name likely derives from the early de gem - gem-pro *Rūsi or the oblique form gem-pro *Rūsjō-. Greule (1982) interprets the name as an Old European hydronym, closely related to de Riß. Given Ptolemy’s record of the pre-Germanic name Silana, it is possible that only part of the river was known as en Rūsi in antiquity. Alternatively, en Rūsi may have been introduced as a Germanic name during the early medieval period, potentially derived from goh rūsa, goh riusa fish trap (see the modern de Reuse). More at Reuss.
