==Etymology== Vojvodina is the Serbian word for voivodeship, a type of duchy overseen by a voivode. Its original historical name was Serbian Vojvodina ("Serbian Voivodeship"), a short-lived self-proclaimed autonomous province within the Austrian Empire. The Serbian Voivodeship, a precursor to modern Vojvodina, was an Austrian province from 1849 to 1860. The Serbian language uses two more varieties of the word vojvodina. These varieties are vojvodovina (војводовина), and vojvodstvo (војводство), the latter being an equivalent to the Polish word for province, województwo (voivodeship).
