The English term "White Russia" originated, most probably, from the Latin "Russia Alba" or "Ruthenia Alba" which is the literal translation from Slavonic "Byelaya Rus". ('ye' pronounced as in English 'yet' and 'u' as in 'rule'). The term "Russia" without any adjective but with its present meaning was unknown in English terminology until the beginning of the l8-th cen., and the territory now known as "Russia" was called "Muscovy" or "Moscovia".
