In Russian Grand Duke means "Vielikij Kniazj" Grand Prince or Great Prince. In medieval Russia the largest cities such as Moscow, Kiev, and others were ruled by Grand Dukes. Under the Romanov dynasty, the sons and daughters of all monarchs, carried this title. Tsar Alexander II limited only the title to those who were sons, daughters and grandsons or granddaughters of the ruling Emperor. In our time their is not a single member of the Romanov family that can legally claim for this title.
@happymax1 Grand duke is of a protocolary rank below a king but higher than a sovereign duke. Grand duke is also the usual and established translation of grand prince in languages which do not differentiate between princes who are children of a monarch (Prinz) and ruling princes (Fürst).

What's the difference between a Grand Duke and an average, every day, run-of the-mill Duke?
