In Moldavia and Wallachia, Voievod meant the leader of the army, as opposed to the Domn (Lord), which was the administrative leader and is a term stemming from the Latin word dominus, meaning lord or master.
Starting with the 17th century, as military power was scrutinized by the Ottoman Empire, the rank of Voievod came closer to the meaning of national ruler (domn).
The voievod title was kept in its initial form by the Wallachian (Romanian) nobility of Ţara Haţegului and Maramureş, where the title of voievod, together with the princely cneaz title, had the meaning of noble/local ruler, but also of the leader of local armies or militias.

Voievod, a term of slavic origin, is one of the titles by which are known the slavic warlords.
By naming a voievod, isntead of a principe, the crown was forced to recognize the power of the old autochtonous institutions and accept for their representative the title of voievod, which was the title used by the indigenous population.
The prerogatives of the voievod consisted of the mobilization and leadership of the army, appointments in the administrative apparel, the execution of judicial functions.

Because of evolution of the Slavic languages, in modern times the term could be rendered vajda, vojvod, vojvoda, wojwod, wojewoda (Polish language), voivode, voivoda, Voievod, воевода (Russian (language)), voyevoda, војвода (Serbian language) or voyvoda.
Originally the term was almost equal to Anglo-Saxon term warlord and shared etymology with Latin term dux (which later evolved into Duke) and German term Herzog.
