Noun

принц (princm anim (genitive при́нца, nominative plural при́нцы, genitive plural при́нцев, feminine принце́сса)

  1. prince, crown prince (a son or other male family member of a king or a non-Russian emperor)
    • 1930, Лев Троцкий , “XXXI. Переговоры в Бресте”, in Моя жизнь; English translation from “XXXI. Negotiations at Brest-Litovsk”, in My Life, 1930:
      Пе́рвую сове́тскую делега́цию, кото́рую возглавля́л Ио́ффе, в Брест-Литовске оха́живали со всех сторо́н. Бава́рский принц Леопо́льд принима́л их, как свои́х "госте́й".
      Pérvuju sovétskuju delegáciju, kotóruju vozglavljál Ióffe, v Brest-Litovske oxáživali so vsex storón. Bavárskij princ Leopólʹd prinimál ix, kak svoíx "gostéj".
      At Brest-Litovsk, the first Soviet delegation, headed by Joffe, was treated in a most ingratiating way by the Germans. Prince Leopold of Bavaria received them as his “guests.”
  2. (rare, historical) prince (the holder of a princely title, especially in the Kingdom of France)
    • 1958 , Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, chapter IV, in Нора Галь , transl., Маленький принц, translation of Le Petit Prince (in French); English translation from Katherine Woods, transl., The Little Prince, 1943:
      У меня́ есть серьёзные основа́ния полага́ть, что Ма́ленький принц прилете́л с плане́тки, кото́рая называ́ется "астеро́ид Б-612".
      U menjá jestʹ serʹjóznyje osnovánija polagátʹ, što Málenʹkij princ priletél s planétki, kotóraja nazyvájetsja "asteróid B-612".
      I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little prince came is the asteroid known as B612.

Usage notes

  • 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).
