Saksan ääntämyksessä umlaut esiintyi jo muinaisyläsaksassa ja kehittyi edelleen keskiyläsaksalaisena aikana.
German phonological umlaut was present in the Old High German period and continued to develop in Middle High German.
Nimi "russ" tulee sanasta "ross", joka tarkoittaa ratsua tai sotahevosta ja on tiettävästi etymologisesti sama sana kuin englannin horse (muinaisyläsaksassa tämän sanan muoto on hros, minkä jälkeen englannissa on tapahtunut /r/:n ja /o/:n metateesi, ruotsissa vain /h/ on kadonnut).
The name russ comes from a now obsolete word ross, which means a riding horse or a charger and it is linked etymologically to the English word horse (in Old High German this word appeared as hros, and in English a metathesis has switched the places of the /r/ and the /o/, whereas in Swedish /hr/ became /r/, producing ross or russ.
