Etymology

edit

Uncertain. Possibly from a Middle High German variant of rueszling, perhaps ruoz (soot), from Old High German hruoz, from Proto-Germanic *hrōtaz (soot) + the suffix -ling. The semantic connection with soot would be referring to the grapes' tendency to develop black spots when ripe.[1]

There are several written references to the variety of grape dating from the 15th century.
