Why Does Bosnia & Herzegovina Have Two Names?

Hey you. My aim is to be at $500 a month by the end of the year on patreon! So if you have a spare dollar or two then it’d be awesome if you could help support Name Explain on patreon. www.patreon.com/user?u=5337771 Lots of love Patrick 【B{>

[@mirzabajrektarevic3652]

Name Explain Bosnia has five regions. Krajina, Posavina, Upper Bosnia, Podrinje, and Herzegovina. The country was always called just Bosnia, but Ottoman empire and Austro-Hungary changed that and they added Herzegovina to the name of the country. But that doesn't change the fact that Herzegovina is just one of the bosnian regions (southern Bosnia) and one day (and that day will come) we will change the name of our country back to Bosnia. Republic of Bosnia. Cheers!

That must have been the worst pronunciation of Stjepan Vukčić Kosača's name i've ever heard. But the rest of the video was pretty accurate.

[@Vitalis94]

He just ignored "j" in Stjepan, while adding the second "k" in Kosača. Even as a non-South Slavic speaker, I can't comprehend how he did that.

[@sktzn6829]

Why is Galicia a region in spain and also the name of a region is eastern europe

[@Vitalis94]

It's just the English name that's the same. Well, Germanic, to be exact. Eastern European Galicia is the latinization of the Russian/Ukrainian name Halych. What's the etymology of the word Halych, well.. That's unknown. Some historians tried to connect the name Galicia to the Celts (that's where Spanish Galicia got it's name from, as there were Gauls/Celts in Spain at some point), and point to the word 'hal', meaning salt in Celtic. But honestly, we just don't know...

[@Slashplite]

In German it's called Galizien. In Polish Galicja

[@dorianhorvat5597]

In all slavic languages It is either Galicija, Galič/ć . Even tho Ukranians say Halych. THey say it with a H bcs Ukranian doesn't actualyl have the G letter. While all other slavic lanuages do.

[@michawrzosek5417]

In Polish Halicz/Ruś Halicka and Galicja are two different things - the former referring to the state which existed before being conquered by Poland and the latter to the region of the Austrian Empire after the partitions. Their territories are quite significantly different.

[@1258-Eckhart]

I did go to the trouble of explaining on your "Führer"-video that "Herzog" is a German word which also effectively means "leader" (albeit a military one). Other languages have it from us, not the other way round. So once more: it is a compound of "Heer" (army) and "Zog" (cognate with English "tug") meaning "lead out". Its derivation and development parallel those of the word "Duke".

[@yourmum69_420]

Like Old English "here" meaning army as in "mycel hæþen here" I think modern English "hoard" is a cognate

serbian word ''herzog'' wtf and why did you skip the fact that Bosnia was a kingdom since 10 up to 14th century and had it's own coins and royal dynasty. Also why did you skip the fact that the country was called Bosnia until Austro Hungarian occupation, it was the Austrians who gave a country two names during the Berlin congress. The AH monarchy pressured under Russia wanted to create two states one called Bosnia and other called Herzegowina. But they backed down after Istanbul convention in 1890 keeping the country united but under two names-

[@Gameflyer001]

BiH has a strange way of governing itself; three distinct governments (one for the whole country, and two for its constituent parts [the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Republika Srpska]), three capitals (Banja Luka for Rep. Srpska, Sarajevo for Fed. BiH, and the free city of Brcko). No wonder things are very slow to get done over there, but fortunately the situation is improving somewhat.

[@nedzlisima1232]

Do ppl really investigate our country or our country is just interesting

[@1503nemanja]

If by improving you mean that half the country wants to secede then yes.

[@tomislav13]

First part of your sentence is "strange". US do not have states? There isn't one govermenz for the US and another for e.g. Texas? And Washington DC is a state or "free city"? So, BiH is a kind of union of two entities: Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska. Brčko District is autonomous as it is not part of the two entities, it is a self-governing "condominium". Capitals are: Sarajevo (BiH and Federation of BiH) and Banja Luka (Republika Srpska). What is interesting is that Republika Srpska is unitary entity, while Federation of BiH (as its name says) is a federation: it is composed of 10 semi-autonomous cantons.

[@Gameflyer001]

There is a difference between the US and BiH, in that in the former, the federal government has clear influence over the individual states, and they aren't exactly autonomous as they have to comply with federal laws to govern themselves. In the latter case, the two autonomous entities are more or less equal with that of the federal government, making agreements between the triumvirate harder to come by.

[@lukapopovic5802]

Maarten Brandts Buijs "onda" = "then". He said: "Don't eat shit, it would be on the map then" or "one would be able to see it on the map then".

Partially you have right , when you explained what is the meaning of The word Bosnia. I said partially, because country Bosnia is not named according to river called Bosnia.... but the whole region is named Bosnia because it has a lot of rivers and water surfaces. And hear is the big difference. Bosnia dated from the begining from 9 century, Herzegowina was formed later with goal to take this Part of the land from Bosnia. During the period of ruling Herzog- Stjepan Kosaca- Herzegowina. in the 16 century as seperate unit didn't t exist because Herzog was Bosniak ruler

[@cikicar]

no one nation in BIH, there are three. Serbs, Croats and invented Muslims with big M, technically croats and serbs converted in islam during ottoman occupation

[@notar2123]

Lolz where did you get that trash from? Ilija Garašanin said in 1844 that in Bosnia there is one nation - Bosniaks, which contains orthodox Bosniaks, catholic Bosniaks and "Muhamedan" Bosniaks. The so-called "Bosnian Serbs" and "Bosnian Croats" were invented during the Austro-Hungarian occupation.

[@1HUSEINKAPETAN1]

Thanks for the video. Though if someone is interested in a more accurate description of why the countr is actually called Bosnia and Herzegovina read this comment. Herzegovina was never in the actual name of the country, it was a region that started of as Hum, then Zachlumia and then Herzegovina. However, the 1st time that the name Bosnia and Herzegovina shows up is in the 19th century, more specificaly 1831-1832 during the Bosnian war of Autonomy against the Ottoman Empire. As the Bosniak nobles defeated the Ottoman Army in Kosovo in the year of 1831, the Bosnian army went back to Bosnia. However, one of the Bosniak nobles who held what is today's Herzegovina, decided to cooperate with the Ottomans and betrayed the rest of the Bosniak Nobility, that nobles name was Ali Pasa Rizvanbegovic. Therefor he was awarded with an autonomus province that would be seperated from Bosnia, that province was the Sandzak of Herzegovina. About 20 years later the two provinces would be merged again into the Bosnian Vilayet. However the name Herzegovina stayed, and was adopted by the Austro Hungarian occupiers after the annexation of Bosnia. But, even so, today mostly people reffer to Bosnia just as Bosnia, leaving out the Herzegovina.

[@hey4816]

And that man was my ancestor, we still carry the lastname Rizvanbegovic not sure if I'm supposed to be proud or not.

[@ig7418]

Great video! How ever I would like to mention that Herceg is an old Bosnian word and not serbian as the Serbian language was based on the Bosnian one. Anyway, the video is cool 👐

[@whatever7180]

This is a wide deception of Muslim people from Bosnia, believing that there is a separate language called Bosnian just because there was a Bosnian dictionary made up in 17th century but people don't know that "bosnian" language used in the dictionary does not have any similarities with the language spoken today, because it was old slavonic language and written in arabic letters which is really wierd.

[@ig7418]

What Ever Let me first say that I'm not muslim, but I do accept the facts that the Bosnian language existed a couple of hundared years before the Serbian language did. So pls, let's not have some discussions because we can't change the reality and facts. If you want to speak Bosnian and say it's Serbian, well that's fine by me. I won't force anyone, but the facts has to be mentioned and accepted. 😊

[@lazarprijedorski909]

IG / Herzog comes from German,not from Bosnians nor Serbian

[@ig7418]

tgghgf hfghgf I don't know. Maybe it is. Probably there is no 100% correct answer when it comes to this topic. The only thing I wanted to mention is that it's impossible to claim that somethings comes from serbian when serbian language in fact was based on the Bosnian one.

[@whatever7180]

the word Herzog derives from Hungarian and it means prince, therefore it was the land of the prince Stefan Kosaca. About the language I dont want to go to dispute, you believe there is a different bosnian language I lay claim that it is the same language as Serbian, agree to disagree end of the story I wont make you think otherwise you wont make me.

[@Sunkem1Not6Hacks]

Why dose it have 3 presidents?

[@cursoreu2605]

Herzegovina, in a nutshell, pretty much is just a geographic location. The real division would be Bosnia & Rep. Srpska But people here don't really care, we just call our country "Bosnia"

[@TheDude-lr6mb]

The real division is actually Federation & Rep. Srpska & Brcko DC

[@x_8643]

Cursor Eu good to know XD. Similar thing in my country. We just say "The U.K." Instead of "Great Britain and Northern Ireland" which takes way to long too actually say Lol.

[@Slashplite]

James Humphreys which is incorrect because people from Herzegovina don't see themselves as Bosnians

[@nedimbajgoric2909]

Slashplite Im from the largest city in Herzegovina and I am a Bosniak(etnicity) and Bosnian/Herzegovian geographicly

[@nedimbajgoric2909]

Slashplite Herzegovian is a geographic term ,etnicity is bosniak

[@whatever7180]

yes but bosnian does not equall herzegovinian or ? Because both are geographic terms which put together form a country of Bosnia and Herzegovina in which three nations Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats live if im not mistaken

[@nedimbajgoric2909]

What Ever three nationalities(bosniaks,croats,serbs,one nation(Bosnia and Herzegovina),two geographic names(bosnian,herzegovian) If germany and austria united austria is to germany what herzegovina is to bosnia

[@JoeSerpa]

Herzegovina name is product of the Ottomans occupation of Bosnia and later Austro-Hungarian Empire leave that in name of the country for theirs occupation reasons. Actualy teritory which someone call today "Herzegovina" is also part of the Bosnia. No, "Ivan Planina" is not border between Bosnia on one side and Herzegovina on another side. From boith sides is Bosnia, Herzegovina is part of the Bosnia.

[@sxt4n1x]

I love Bosnia And Herzegovina bcs i live here and you should ALL VISIT (and learn the language)

[@deniskuduzovic8889]

i live there and im confused too

[@sentinelprime5305]

Bosnia is the whole country. Bosnia is also Hercegovina. The double name was imposed on the entire country of Bosnia from the west in order to be able to split the country one day. As always, the divide and rule principle applies here as we know it very well from the West. Hercegovina is not a separate country or another country. It never was. All this is the country of Bosnia and this region is called Hercegovina. Just like in Bosnia the region Bos. Krajina and Podrinje and Bos. Posavina gives. These are all regions like Hercegovina in Bosnia. The double name is a trap and a curse that anti-Bosnian forces from the west were eager to introduce.

[@backamapper4602]

Regular Yugoslav I thought it was called “Serbia and Montenegro” from 2003 to 2008?

[@CheefCoach]

It was from 2003 to 2006. Official name was: Drzavna zajednica Srbija i Crna Gora or in translation State union of Serbia and Montenegro. What happens was that two countries that form Federal Republic of Yugoslavia decided on 2003. to separate. Three years was period to sort all things so separation would be fair and peaceful.

[@lordpinochetuttp3819]

What is a " Montenegro" There is only Serbia.

[@determinant18]

Usually when foreigners first hear Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, they think federal subjects are Bosnia and Herzegovina. If it were that simple... One federal subject is Republic of Srpska, the other one is...Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yup, a federation inside a federation...bearing exactly the same name. Oh, and both Srpska and (lesser) Federation of B&H cover parts of geographic regions of both Bosnia and Herzegovina. Last and least is Brčko District, which belongs to neither Srpska nor Federation (yes, lesser one), but luckily, is entirely in the region of Bosnia (otherwise it would be too complicated :)
