Origin

Old English (denoting the ruler of a duchy), from Old French duc, from Latin dux, duc- 'leader'; related to ducere 'to lead'.

The word duke is recorded in Old English, but it goes back to Latin dux ‘leader’, which is related to ducere ‘to lead’ (see duct). The earliest meaning of duke was ‘the ruler of a duchy’—it referred to sovereign princes in continental Europe, and did not describe a member of the British nobility until the end of the 14th century. See also count, earl, prince
