Russ

The name Russ is of French, German, and Slavic origin. This name is traditionally used for boys. Russ is known to be a variant of another old French name ‘Russell.’ The meaning of Russ is ‘small and red’; it can also denote the sort of innocence that a child shows, the innocence of love, of truth, and of friendship, of not demanding or expecting, and of being innocently happy even about the most trivial things. In the German variation of this name, the word ‘rouse’ means ‘to be famous'. The Slavic word ‘rusu’ means ‘reddish in color’, and is another origin of the name Russ.
