Old English cyning 'king, ruler,' from Proto-Germanic *kuninggaz (cf. Dutch koning, Old Norse konungr, Danish konge, Old Saxon and Old High German kuning, Middle High German künic, German König). Possibly related to Old English cynn 'family, race' (see kin), making a king originally a 'leader of the people;' or from a related root suggesting 'noble birth,' making a king originally 'one who descended from noble birth.' The sociological and ideological implications render this a topic of much debate.
Finnish kuningas 'king,' Old Church Slavonic kunegu 'prince' (Russian knyaz, Bohemian knez), Lithuanian kunigas 'clergyman' are loans from Germanic.
In Old English, used for names of chiefs of Anglian and Saxon tribes or clans, then of the states they founded. Also extended to British and Danish chiefs they fought. The chess piece so called from early 15c.; the playing card from 1560s; use in checkers/draughts first recorded 1820. Applied in nature to species deemed remarkably big or dominant (e.g. king crab, 1690s). In marketing, king-size is from 1939, originally of cigarettes.
