Hi Gutt Morgan,
Nassau was not a grand duchy but a duchy. The name is coming from a castle with this name existing about 1150. Today in Germany are existing one city and three other places with this name. All the other names like Nassau are descending there from. For further informations you can go to Google with "duchy of Nassau" and you will find a good deal.
Sincerly
