Reuss

Reuss (genitive)
Reuss (nominative singular)
Reuss (genitive singular)
Reuss (dative singular)
Reuss (accusative singular)

From an earlier form Rusa, first attested in 1296.
Ptolemy recorded the river's Pre-Germanic name as Silana, which is reflected in the name Silenen. The Germanic name for the river is attested as Rusa or Rusia from the 9th century, and was occasionally recorded as Ursa in the Early Modern period (compare Urseren). This name likely derives from the early Germanic *Rūsi or the oblique form *Rūsjō-.
Greule (1982) interprets the name as an Old European hydronym, closely related to Riß. Given Ptolemy’s record of the pre-Germanic name Silana, it is possible that only part of the river was known as Rūsi in antiquity. Alternatively, Rūsi may have been introduced as a Germanic name during the early medieval period, potentially derived from Old High German rūsa, riusa (“fish trap”) (see the modern Reuse).

From Middle Dutch Oepen, Oipen, Oupen, Open. According to the prevalent theory from Proto-West Germanic *opan (“open”). The Middle Dutch spellings indeed seem to point to a back vowel; on the other hand there is no certainty about this and the modern front-rounded vowel would remain unexplained. An alternative theory derives it from *up (“up, at the top”) + *-īn. This explains the umlaut, but is still at odds with the dialectal pronunciation [ˈøˑʏ̯pə] ~ [ˈøːpə], which would require West-Germanic au-. Therefore a third theory postulates an underlying *Aupīn, in which *aup- would be a blend of *auwju (“floodplain”) with the hydronym *apa-.
The spelling in Eu- appears in the 16th century and is probably a Franco-Flemish representation of [øː]. The contemporary Standard German pronunciation may to some degree be a spelling pronunciation, but it also approaches the local [øˑʏ̯], which moreover generally corresponds to standard eu, äu.
