Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Ukrainian гетьманъ m (hetʹman), гетманъ m (hetman), from Old Polish hethman m, probably from Middle High German houbetman, heuptman (commander), from houbet, heupt (head), related to Latin caput (head), + Middle High German man (man). Compare Modern Polish hetman m and Modern German Hauptmann m (captain, Haupt n + Mann m). The Polish -e- attests to a borrowing from an East Central German dialect, in which Middle High German -öu- gives -ē-.
