Etymology
Bosnia-Herzegovina comes from two place names: Bosna, named after the Bosna river, and Herzegovina, from herceg meaning 'duke' plus -ovina meaning 'land'. So the name points to 'the land of Bosna and the duke's land', which helps explain why the country is made of these two historic regions.
