The title of duchess is bestowed upon either (1) the wife or widow of a duke or (2) a woman holding title to a duchy in her own right.

It is a title the wife of a duke uses. Like, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburg, or whatever.

do you mean a duchess? It's a title of the nobility, for the wife of the duke.

Duke:
In England, one of the highest order of nobility after princes and princesses of the royal blood and the four archbishops of England and Ireland.

In some European countries, a sovereign prince, without the title of king.
Duchess is the female equivalent.
