The name Bosnia cannot be fully answerd because it has many theories like it was named by the river called Bosnia but then there comes question how did the river get that name... Anyway, name Herzegovina came from king Stjepan Kosaca who won a title given from Austria called Herzeg (german for Duke) at that time.
