In French, it has always been called Alsace. In German and Alsatian, it is known as Elsaß. In English, the name of the province depends on who has owned it at the time.

France. Alsace and Lorraine became part of France during the 1600's. In 1871, Germany fought a war with France and won, and part of the settlement was that Alsace and Lorraine would be given to Germany and called "Alsace-Lorraine". France was angry about it and wanted "revanche"- revenge. As part of the settlement of World War I, Alsace-Lorraine was given back to France.
