Weisse Elster → White Elster – This appears to be easily the most common English name, having been used since at least 1765 and across a wide range of literature: historical, geographical, mining, modern fiction and non-fiction, architectural, scientific and encyclopaedic right up to the present day. In addition to the article references, a few further illustrative examples are listed here. As an additional benefit "White Elster" avoids having to prefer either the German name or the Czech name.
