'Herzog' is a German title of nobility, equivalent to Latin ''dux'', English ''duke'', Danish ''hertug'', Afrikaans ''Hertog'', Dutch ''Hertog'', Icelandic ''Hertogi'', Luxemburgish ''Herzog'',
Norwegian ''Hertug'', Swedish ''Hertig''. Originally it was a title of elected Germanic military leaders, although it is now also a common family name. Herzog was borrowed into many other languages with the chief meaning of the word being "Duke", such as Russian ''hertsog'', Belarusian ''hertsag'', Ukrainian ''hertsog'', Bulgarian ''hertsog'', Latvian ''hercogs'', Lithuanian ''hercogas'', Estonian ''hertsog'', Finnish ''Herttua'', and Hungarian ''Herceg''
Herzog is not related to Herz (), but is derived from German(ic) 'He(e)r' and 'zog (ziehen)' (English: to pull, drag), a military leader.
