Herzegovinian = Herzegovina (transparent) = Herzegovina + ian
Formed from the place name 'Herzegovina' with the common demonym/ adjective-forming suffix '-ian', so the meaning 'relating to Herzegovina' is directly inferable.
Etymology
Herzegovinian comes from the place name Herzegovina, which originally meant 'land of the duke' because a local ruler called himself a herceg, a word like the English 'duke'. So Herzegovinian describes people, culture, or things from that region.
