Usage notes

edit
  • The words князь (knjazʹ) and принц (princ) both translate to “prince”, but have distinct usages in Russian:
    • принц (princ) in most cases refers to a son or other male family member of a king or non-Russian emperor; the word is strongly associated with a Western European, non-Russian context.
    • князь (knjazʹ) refers to the ruler of a principality or the holder of a princely title.
  • Russian usually uses the term царь (carʹ, tsar) for ancient and non-European monarchs who in English would be called kings; the son of such a monarch would be a царе́вич (carévič, tsarevich), not принц (princ).
