If you will forgive me some futile nitpicking, I think that "Livland
Raspberry" is probably the most nearly correct name. Livland (I think 
from the Swedish and German) or Livonia was a territory  of variable 
extent but centered around what we now know as southern Estonia and 
northern Latvia, ruled by a crusading German knightly order, then by 
Sweden, then from about 1710 by Russia.

Livland Raspberry has been used to some extent in breeding in Canada and 
the northern U.S. states.
