Male white tigers are simply referred to as "male white tigers." There is no specific name for them aside from their species and color designation.
Female white tigers are not significantly different from male white tigers in terms of physical appearance. White tigers get their coloration from a recessive gene, so both males and females can possess this trait. The main differences between male and female white tigers lie in their individual personalities and behaviors, which can vary widely among individuals.
They can be male or female.
White tigers can be both male and female, just like other tiger subspecies. The white coloration is due to a genetic mutation that affects pigmentation.
White tigers, like other tigers, reproduce sexually through mating between a male and a female tiger. After mating, the female will give birth to a litter of cubs.
Nope. White tigers and white lions are different breeds of large cats. Just like regular lions and tigers are different, and look different (male lions have manes, tigers have stripes for instance), the white versions of each are also different.

The white Bengal tigers were found in Rewa, India, in 1951. The first one captured, a male, was one of four cubs, all its litter mates were normal colored. Once in a while, white tigers are seen in the wild, but they are extremely rare.
White tigers, an extremely rare color anomaly found in Bengal tigers, are not a separate subspecies of tiger on their own. All white tigers are descended from a white male captured in Rewa India decades ago. Bred for their beauty and as a token for the curious, white tigers often have genetic abnormalities due to the inbreeding involved in their ancestry. White tigers should not be bred for our enjoyment, as the animals suffer in many occasions.
The white tiger is not a separate species of tiger; instead, it is a rare color variation of the Bengal tiger species. White tigers lack the pigment melanin, giving them their distinctive white coloration.
Male tigers are called "toms" or "tigers," while female tigers are called "queens" or "tigresses."
