<P> The Baltic Sea was known in ancient Latin language sources as Mare Suebicum or Mare Germanicum . Older native names in languages that used to be spoken on the shores of the sea or near it usually indicate the geographical location of the sea ( in Germanic languages ) , or its size in relation to smaller gulfs ( in Old Latvian ) , or tribes associated with it ( in Old Russian the sea was known as the Varanghian Sea ) . In modern languages it is known by the equivalents of `` East Sea '' , `` West Sea '' , or `` Baltic Sea '' in different languages : </P>
