Etymology
Од Middle English countee, counte, conte, од Anglo-Norman counté, Old French conté (French comté), од Латински comitātus (“jurisdiction of a count”), од comes (“count, earl”). Cognate with Шпански condado (“county”) и Италијански contea (“county”). Дублети of comitatus, borrowed directly from Latin. Mostly displaced native Old English sċīr, whence Modern English shire.

Usage notes
- In US usage, counties are almost always designated as such, with the word "County" capitalized and following the name — e.g., "Lewis County", rarely "Lewis", and never "County Lewis".
- In British and Irish usage, counties are referenced without designation — e.g. "Kent" and never "Kent County". Exceptions are; Durham, which is often "County Durham" (but never "Durham County"); and the counties of Ireland. An organisation such as Kent County Council is the "County Council" of "Kent" and not the "Council" of "Kent County".
- In Canadian usage, counties are typically designated as such, with the word "County" capitalized and usually preceding the name — e.g., "the County of Two Hills". Occasionally, "County" follows the name, as in "Sturgeon County".
