The name Den Bosch is older than the official name 's-Hertogenbosch. That duke was the Duke of Brabant.
The shorter name Den Bosch is widely used, but is not official. This is in contrast to The Hague, which is officially used.
In many other languages, 's-Hertogenbosch is referred to by its translation: Bois-le-Duc in French, Boscoducale in Italian, Bolduque in Spanish and Herzogenbusch in German. The (Neo-)Latin name is Silva Ducis or Buscum Ducis. During carnival time the city is called Oeteldonk.
