I don't really understand what's happening, or perhaps I'm imagining it but the last two (?) weeks when I click on the “Coins” icon and as I type Russia, Belarus typically pops up (which is normal).  

 

However, what's odd is that it first showed up as Belarus, then last week (I think?) it was renamed to Belyorussia and today I've noticed it's showing up as White Russia, Belarus.  

 

 

Not sure what's going on with this identity crisis (lol) and its pretty minor, but wanted to flag it as its kind of weird.

Not weird, these are listed as alternative search names. Sometimes it produces weird results, if you think any name in particular should not be there, let us know please.

White Russia in en.wikipedia:

  • White Ruthenia, a historical reference for a territory in the eastern part of present-day Belarus
  • An archaic literal translation for Belarus/Byelorussia/Belorussia
  • Russian State, opposed to the Soviet ("Red") Russia, one of the sides in the Russian Civil War

 

None of them seems to be a good reason for me to make a divert from “White Russia” to Belarus. English is not my first language, so maybe I'm wrong but I don't see the point here.

I'm not orange and also in other things I'm not a Donald at all. DonChori like Don Felipe or Doña María, por favor.
