It's somewhat surprising to learn the White House of the United States of America had been previously called the "President's Palace," the "President's House," and the "Executive Mansion." References to 'mansion' harkens back to the 1700s when most 'large houses' were called mansions and often had many hundreds of acres surrounding the home. In 1901, President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave "The White House" its current name.
Before Theodore Roosevelt gave it the name White House, it was known as the Executive Mansion.
Theodore Roosevelt used the words, "White House" on his official stationery in 1901 to name his house. However, people had been calling it the White House for at least 75 years and probably since it was built.

The building was originally referred to as the "President's Palace", "Presidential Mansion", and "President's House". It weren't referred The White House until 1811.The name "Executive Mansion" was used in official contexts until Roosevelt had "White House-Washington" engraved on the stationery in 1901.
The White House walls are of white stone. However when the building was gutted by the fire set by the British in 1814 ,the walls were blackened somewhat, so when the building was repaired, it was painted white which made it noticeablyt whiter and that, I think, is when people started calling it the White House. The name has never been officially changed, but Theodore Roosevelt in 1901 had his official stationery printed with "The White House" on it.
