Where did the white tiger get its name from?

Answer 1

If you are asking about a particular tiger, we don't know which one.

In general, white tigers are called that because they have white fur where ordinary tigers have yellow.

Answer 2

The term "white tiger" is used to describe a rare genetic variation of the Bengal tiger known as leucism, which causes a lack of pigment in the fur. The name "white tiger" is derived from its coloration, which gives it a white or pale golden color with black stripes.
