Synonyms are Breisgauer Riesling, Colmer, Elsässer, Eltinger, Ettlinger, Faktor, Fauler Elsässer, Gelber Mosler, Gelber Ortlieber, Kleinräuschling, Knackerle, Knackerling, Kleiner Gelber Ortlieber, Kleiner Räuschling, Kniperlé, Libiza, Ortlieber, Petit Räuschling, Reichenweiherer, Rungauer, Strassburger, Türckheimer, Weisser Ortlieber (Germany); Bela Kavka, Belina Drobna, Beli Kleschiz, Drobni Kleshiz, Mali Javor (Croatia); Petit Mielleux, Petit Riesling, Rochelle, Rochelle Blanche, Ruchelin (France). Despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities, it should not be confused with the varieties Folle Blanche, Fütterer, Pinot Bl anc or Räuschling.

The variety was a crossing partner of the new varieties Colmar Précoce Noir, Gutknipperlé, Neron and Triomphe d'Alsace.
