The Kven Sea (Cwen sea) is mentioned as the northern border for the ancient Germania in "The Old English Orosius", the history of the world published in England in 890 CE with a commission from King Alfred the Great himself. The word "kven" most likely comes after the Kven people, implied that they have used the area fairly extensive. The name Kven sea was probably the same as the Gulf of Finland, although the Gulf of Bothnia has also been suggested. But, in a norwegian source from 1922 "Kvænhavet" (Kven sea) is mentioned as another name (nickname) for the White Sea.
