The german word for mayor is Bürgermeister which translates to master of the citizens. So Master could be a title.
Any word which derives from dux like doge could also become the word for leader. I also think that elective monarchys could develop into republics without changing the ruler title like the commonwealth.
Cromwell passed the position down to his son, so in practice the Commonwealth was a hereditary monarchy.Yes, if the English Commonwealth i.e. Republic had survived, then we'd likely still have a Lord Protector, especially as it would have been, at any rate in the early years, dominated by the aristocracy.
But Consul has a nice Roman ring to it. Perhaps First Consul and Second Consul instead of President and Vice President?
