Since the title was granted to the Count of Olivares, the first holder became popularly known as the "Count-Duke of Olivares", by conjunction of the two titles. However, and by Royal Decree in 1882, the Countship of Olivares became officially known as the Countship-Dukedom of Olivares (condado-ducado de Olivares). The Dukedom of Sanlúcar la Mayor remains with the original denomination, and makes reference to the town of Sanlúcar la Mayor in the Province of Seville.
