Etymology
From sv gmq-osw Roþ(r)in, definite form of gmq-osw Roþer (which is formally identical to the common noun gmq-osw roþer, meaning “rowing”). The region was apparently so named because the adjoining seas were used by the Svear for naval expeditions.Andersson Thorsten 2007 Rus’ und Wikinger Arkiv för Nordisk Filologi 122 5–13 https://journals.lub.lu.se/anf/article/view/11758 https://web.archive.org/web/20250623112526/https://journals.lub.lu.se/anf/article/view/11758 23 June 2025
