'polar (North Pole, arctic) fox', 'snow fox', 'white fox', 'mountain fox', 'blue fox'
The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, assigning the Arctic fox to the genus of wolves (Canis). In 1816, Lorenz Oken assigned the species to the genus of foxes (Vulpes); in 1829, Johann Kaup identified the species as a separate genus, Alopex.
