Most Popular Czech surnames

In the Czech Republic, the Slavic names are most common, a very strong influence on the names of Catholic faith was provided. Traditional Czech names and today are very popular: Tomáš, Marek, Milan, Kateřina, Eliška. Sometimes there are very exotic names, for example: Květoslav, Mojmír.

Czech Republic belongs to Slavic countries, so you can find a lot of names identical to Russian, Ukrainian or Polish names: Lenka, Pavel, Jana, Petr, Roman, Olga, Ilona, \u200b\u200bIvan, etc.

I will tell about the main groups of Slavic names, which also apply to Czech names:

• Diode (Svatoslav, Bohdan, Bohumil, Miroslav);
• Communion names (ždan);
• Names from animal and plant peace (květoslava);
• Names in order of birth (firsthand, spin, third);
• Names for human qualities (brave).

Due to the presence in the Czech language of the diacritical signs (Gachekov, Charek), many names are pronounced a little different than their Russian equivalents. Emphasis is most often placed on the first syllable. As you probably noticed, many Czech names have a brief version of the name, so do not be surprised if you don't understand the first time, what a name did Czechs mean.

In order to correctly contact the Czech, you need to use the "charting case" (the fifth case in Czech language). I will not go into the debrist of the language, just say, how it will look like: "Xenio!", "Grischo!", "Jano!", Misho! ".

There is one more nuance in Czech, which refers to female surnames is the addition of ending -OV ( -OVÁ). That is, normal surnames need to credit to get Paris Hiltonova, Michelle Pfeifferova, etc.

How to contact by name to Czech

As it turned out in practice, it is absolutely not enough to know the name of the Cech to contact him.

Unlike the Russian language, in Czech there is rental case (seventh), the essence of the use of which is reduced to about the following:

if your name ends on "-tr" (Peter), then the intelligence form - "Pettersha!" (Petře!) If "-dra" (Alexander) - "Alexandzh!" (Alexandře!).

If "-A, I, E", (Adela, Misha, Lucia), will be "Adelo, Misho, Lucios".

If on "-y, ya" (Grigory, Natalia), then it will sound like "Grigoryi, Natalia" (Grigoriji, Natalija).

In general, be prepared for the fact that the Czechs your name will be covered and pronounce as they do, but only not as you are accustomed.

The most common Czech surnames

The husband and wife in the Czech Republic are last read in different ways. Moreover, the Czechs are very love to inclust the names of foreigners. For this reason, they will pronounce Nicole Kidman as Nicole Kidmanova. That is, almost everywhere adds the end - ov.

Another interesting feature of the "counting" of foreign surnames in the Czech Republic.

If you call you for example, Guseva Catherine, then on any Czech documents you will be listed as Gusevova Ekanthin.

At birth, each person receives his personal name and family name (last name), saying that he has to Son (or daughter) to his father, grandson - grandfather, great-grandchildren - great-grandfather.

The surname can be rare and widespread, majestic or ridiculous, but they can all tell why the great-grandchildren began to call this way.

The origin of Czech surnames

In the Czech Republic today there are over four tens of thousands of surnames, and the first of them arose in the 14th century. First, the names were kinda nicknames and could change during life. For example, Sedlak (peasant), Shilgan (oblique), halabala (slacker). And each family member, the nickname could be their own. These second names helped better identify people, rather register them. And to prevent disorders when collecting taxes, future surnames began to be inherited. In 1780, the Czech Emperor Josef II was legalized by the use of generic names.

The writer Božena němcová is the most famous carrier of a common Czech family.

Czech surnames sometimes corresponded to the occupation of a person, such as MLLARZH (Melnik), Schelanta (Greasher), and coincided with his own name or Father's name, for example, Yanak, Lukash, Alesha, Urbank (remember Viktor Pavlik). The generic names of people living in the city and the village were also different. The townspeople have a surname sometimes corresponded to their belonging to a specific layer of society. To the nobility family name, as a rule, the place of residence of the family was added. For example, the leather from Trozznova, Lanski from Lobkovitz. Noblemen, a lot of progress began to transfer labor names by inheritance, showing thus your noble origin. One of the oldest nobility names in the country wears Cherninov (11th century).

Vladimír Mlynář is a famous Czech politician and a financier. We would he have been Vladimir Melnik.

Such surnames like Knedlik, Kolash (Pie), the CIBUCU (bulb) clearly make it clear that czechs have always been big gourmets, and nature served for them with a source of inspiration (Brozis - Birch, Gavrank - Voronenok, Shipka - Rosehip, Vorzhishche - Pranch, etc.). Czech generic names were used that reflected religion: Krzhestyan (Christian), Loutrene (Lutheran).

Alexey Mlinarzh - Russian Master of Table Tennis with the same speaking Czech Family. And after all, no miller.

Appeared funny surnameswhich were called representatives of religions that are noncatolic (rabid - pagan), or who spoke about some quality of the character of a person (sodom - from the famous Bible of Sodom). And apparently, due to the fact that the ancestors of modern Chekhov with humor everything was fine, there are such family names as Gyeseks (France), Beran (Baran), Cisarzh (Emperor), Voganka (tail), plethich (gossip), Broxhachek ( Puzzled) and others.

Today, some of the Czechs go to the registry offices to change the names that they seem to them. funny or even obscene. And the staff of these institutions, as a rule, meet citizens who wish to get rid of such generic names as Greessemy, which means "playing with me", Lyutsezas, which is translated as "Come still", has driven - "killed", boitamvas, meaning greeting.

If you got here not just so, but with serious intentions, for example, you set a goal and move there to permanently, then we have a couple more articles for you. In learning a language, it is worth starting with the basics, that is, from the Czech alphabet - it turns out that he is not so simple, and the letters in it apparently invisibly.

The most common names in the Czech Republic

If you browse the list of Czech surnames, the most frequently found generic name will be Novak. This equivalent of Ivanov's names It is a "family" symbol of the country, and its carrier - the hero of numerous Czech jokes. Today in the Czech Republic more than 70 thousand men and women are surnames Novak and Novakova. It says that the ancestors of Chekhov often changed the place of residence, and having arrived in another city or village, they became newbies - Novakov. If such a "rolling-field" was also low, it was called Novachek.

Slightly less than Czech citizens with the surname Freedom, from which generic names Freedom were formed, free, etc. Third place in the list of Czech surnames occupies newly as a derivative from Novak, and the fourth - Dvorak (everyone who knows and loves music, is known this famous surname ).

Karel Svoboda - Czech composer - It was he who wrote the famous song to the cartoon "The Adventures of the Maison Bee". His surname is one of the most common in the Czech Republic.

Not the most common, but certainly the most famous is the name of Czech Chapeca. Writer Karel Chapek and composer Antonin Dvorak, really do not need a view. It is believed that there is a surname of Chapek from the word "chap", which means "stork". Maybe the ancestors of the writer had long legs, and they may have a long nose, and perhaps the stork was depicted on their house.

And since we were talking about music, let us note that the Czech Republic is a very musical country, and on our site there is a dedicated to her. Great composers and street ensembles, a famous collaborator in a hat on the Karlovy Bridge and a player on crystal glasses on the Republic Square. Or maybe organ music? Will going to the church?

Features of the formation of Czech surnames

If you compare Russian surnames with Czech, it is clearly seen that most Russian generic names answer the question: "Whose?" (Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov), and Czech, like English, German, etc., are directly called a person (Smith, Hess, Novak, Svalhal, Smalarge).

And in Czech, despite the fact that he is also Slavic, there is a different attitude in grammar to the words of the male and female genus. As a result, the formation of a female surname from male occurs by adding suffix "-OV". For example, Novak - Novakova, Shpork - Shortkov. Moreover, foreign women's surnames Czechs also inclined without regard to the meaning. It is sometimes very interesting, if not to say ridiculous. For example, Smirnov - Smirnovova, Beckham - Beckhamova, Putin - Putinos. In Czech periodic press, you can read: Demi Murova, Sara-Jessica Parkerova, Sheron Stonunova. The famous fact that Kylie Minogue did not go to the Czech Republic, having learned that her name was looked like Kylie Minogov. True, there are feminine surnames to which the named suffix is \u200b\u200bnot added, it is Nova, Red, Stara and others denoting the adjective.

Some of the weak floor representatives suggest that the addition of suffix "-OV" to the male surname for the formation of a female showing the dependence of a woman from a man, her subordinate role. Part of Chekhov believes that it will be more logical to use the male form of the Czech female surname, with the fact that people travel a lot of many things. In the Senate, there was even a proposal from a party of civil democrats to allow women to "stop" their last names. But the project was not approved not to speed up the natural development process of the Czech language. True, the Czech language institute recommended tolerant to belong to women who prefer to seem to call the male form of their surnames that it does not apply to official documents.

The one who read the article almost to the end will definitely be interested to find out also about the most popular and rare names in the Czech Republic. This girl is called Petra. Is it not true, a beautiful name? By the way, she is a famous Czech model. The article about the names from us is preparing and in which we will publish it. Follow us.

The surname is one of the most important components of human identity. Stories are known for the renaming facts of a person who has become a slave. And the declination of female surnames is part of the identity of the Chekhov. Perhaps this is what causes patriots to perceive the desire of some citizens to violate the golden rule of Czech grammar as a greater loss of Czech language.

All Prague 1 Prague 2 Prague 3 Prague 4 Prague 5 Prague 6 Prague 7 Prague 8 Prague 9 Prague 10

Currently in the Czech Republic exists more than 40 thousand surnames.

And the first names appeared in the 14th century.

Most often surnames were formed on behalf. For example, quite common urban, urbanks, Lukash, Lukashk, Kaspar, or on behalf of Yang - immediately several - Yanak, Yandak, Yanda, Janota. I think many feel embarrassed when a person is called Vaclav Havel, your Sigmund or Ota Mikhal, Yakub Peter, Mikulas Alash. Try to guess where the name, and where is the last name.

Still surnames were often given depending on the kind of activity. Here they live in the light of the collarge (Wheel Master) and Tubagarnzh (carpenter), Taison (Carpenter) and Schelanta (Glassman). The names of Bednarzh (Bondar), Cowarzh (Kuznets), MLARZH (Melnik) were often met.

Czech surnames for the most part arose due to the need to better identify people. The first similarities of the names, most often reflected certain traits of character or appearance of this person, and, often were ironic, mocking or even offensive. These include, for example, the grip (toothy), shorthand (negligent), halabala (slacker) and others. They still can not be called classic last names, it was rather nicknames or nicknames, which could change one person throughout the life. Father and son could have different "surnames" depending on the kind of occupation, appearance or typical character traits.

Over time, the feudals began to force their subjects constantly use the second name in order for the registration of citizens to become more accurate. So it was decided that second names, that is, future surnames, be transfer in inheritanceTo avoid mess, first of all, when collecting taxes.

In 1780, Emperor Joseph II use of tribal surnames legalized.

The names of the urban and villagers were distinguished. In cities, people often received surnames depending on the public layer to which they belonged, or from the place where they lived. In the 18th century, no numbers were used for orientation on the streets, for example, the house "in two suns", "from the Golden Snake", "from the Black Mother" and so on. Accordingly, if someone had, for example, the surname of Wedl, it means that it was a man "from an elephant", that is, he lived in the house "by an elephant".

Pretty clear was the difference between the names of the nobles and ordinary people. Nobility names usually consisted of several shaft names, from the last name, as well as the nicknames, which, most often, marked the place of the residence of this kind. For example, Yang Zhizzov from Trozznova, a guarantor of the guarantor of users and outheads, Boguslav Gashishteinski from Lobkovitz. The nobility of the surname by inheritance began to be transmitted earlier than that of ordinary people. This is understandable, because in the interests of the nobles themselves, so that their children would bear the generic name, which would immediately spoke about their noble origin, position in society and the consistency of their family. The oldest Czech naval surname refers to the genus Cherninov (out of the 11th century).

Simple people of the surname, most often, were associated with the birth of their classes, for example, bad bargain (carpenter), Tasnery (carpenter), Keltheknik (Mechechshchik), Sedlak (peasant), Vorach (PAKAR), NAPRATIK (BUDGET), MESSNOWA (Forest), Loca (Lackey) and others. The names of the villagers often testified about the size of the property of this person. For example, Pulpan (the accurate translation means "half lord") was the owner of half of the field, Lanski has already become the owner of the whole field, and the man with the name of Flyland was a landless peasant.

Someczech surnames reflect the sphere of spiritual, above all, religion. Such surnames belong to, for example, Krzhestyan (Christian) and Ranagnik.
Even in this area, mocked surnames arose like a pick-up (designation for the representative of the Czech brothers, later Protestants) or Lutrin (Lutheran). Such names in the Middle Ages swore representatives of other, noncatolic religions. This group also includes families borrowed from the Biblewhich expressed a certain property of this person. There is a surname Sodomka from the biblical city of Sodom, destroyed by God because of his sins of his citizens, the surname of Gerodes, who was marked by a bloodthirsty man, Pilate is an indecisive person and the like.

It should be noted that humor reflected in the formation of many Czech surnames. Many of them indicate that the ancestors of modern Chekhov were real merchant. They raised the highest positions, using their titles and titles, both secular and church, to designate their fellow citizens. Until now, you can meet with such last names as the cisarge (emperor), the cradle (king), the Vevey (Duke), the Prince, or even Papa (Dad), Biscupp (Bishop), OPA or Namath (Abbot) and others. Mocking surnames also formed on the basis of the spiritual or physical qualities of their carriers, such as Gyeseks (France), the Plenthiha (gossip), the catch (idleness), are vague (sad), angles (evil), the beauty (beauty), and this title could express either Reality, or Irony.

Real qualities Reflected such surnames as Kulgank or Kulgava (chrome), Shilgan or Shilgava (oblique), wide (wide), neurob (cheese), small (small) and others.

Pretty popular were surnames associated with some part of the body; In most cases, they were ironic, for example, chapter (head), Tlame (muzzle), Brojkhachek (Puzzled), Korarone (as a skeleton) and the like. Sometimes satire was such a rigid that the name of a part of the animal body was used to designate a certain person, for example, Kopeitko (Kopyites), Tlap (Paw), Puceour (Paw), Voganka (Tail) or Otseshek (tail).

Many Czech surnames are metaphoricalSo they arose on the basis of some similarity. This category includes, above all, the names associated with nature, with the names of plants, animals or natural phenomena as, for example, toad, reptile (snake), Beran (Baran), Mraz (Frost), Winter, Clay (clay) and Others. And these surnames were often defined by a mockery or cursing.

Many Czech surnames are connected with the digestive areaWhat can guess that the ancestors of the Chekhov were passionate consumers. Such surnames belong to, for example, pecsen (loaf), Gusk (Bulka), bay (patty), watering (soup), Knedlik and others.

An inexhaustible source for surnames was nature-mother. Blue, Moudo - is understandable without translation, by the way Alphonse Fly, a famous Czech artist. Gavrak - Voronenok, Merges - Eagleok, Vorzhishki - a poop, clawing - cock. Going through the Czech land Brzhiz (birch) and oaks (oaks), linden and chips (rosehips), the communion (bulWhi, and if you continue to translate into other languages \u200b\u200b- natural chipolino).

Of course, a certain surname, a person could get both due to expressive character traits, appearance, or because of behavior: quiet, Tlovers (thick), grades (hero), preserving (splashes saliva during conversation), and the bargaining), or Neruda (evil man, "radish" on the jargon "Gentlemen of Good luck"). The famous Czech poet and writer Jan Neruda, most likely, was not evil - the poet could not be evil.

Why do people change surnames? Because their surname sounds ridiculous or even indecent. Who accesses such assistance to the registers? For example, a certain pan of sightsellites (Zřídkaveselý) - translated - the occasionally cheerful - in the sense - "Tsarevna-Nesmeyana", - he would easily be able to ask him to give him a new surname. The registry office themselves decide who to allow them to change the surname, and who does not have, and do not require any evidence that they laugh or mock such a surname. How could it arise, for example, the surname Grejsemnou - Play with me? According to etymologists, who received this surname, a person had to very love the games, possibly gambling, for example, in the bone, and maybe harmless - with the children. Such surnames will rarely meet, as unnecessary, they disappear. But at the beginning of the last century it was possible to get acquainted with the village of Litsezas (Vraťsezase) - come back, or come back. But Pan Vitamwas (Vítámvás) - I welcome you - undoubtedly polite from birth, he will never forget to say hello, but, calling his last name, in response invariably hears - and I am. Only a person with a strong character can wear the last name. Vraždil - killed ... And one travel lover was allowed - he was called Radsethoulal - rádsetoular - in translation - loved to wander at different places ..

The origin of the most common Czech surnames

The most common last name in the Czech Republic is the name Novak, only in the Prague telephone directory "Yellow Pages" - more than 40 columns with novakov phones.

Therefore, if you have a friend in the Czech Republic, and you want to find it, but you know about him just that he is Novak - consider that you are not lucky. But if you meet a Cech in your area - you can safely contact him with the words: "Pan Novak! How do you like with us? " The likelihood is wrong with the surname, Mala.

Surname Novak - This is the Czech equivalent of the Russian surname of Ivanov. Moreover, it is, if you can say that "family" symbol of the Czech Republic. Novak is a national hero of jokes, as once in the Soviet Union - Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev with Petka. Surname Novak is the most common in the Czech Republic. Statistics show that in 2001, more than 34 thousand men lived in the Czech Republic in the Czech Republic and more than 36 thousand women in Novakov named.

How did the Czechs come to life such that wherever it looks - everywhere Novakov? The history of origin is the surnames simple. Well, did not love the ancestors of modern Novakovy sit in one place, they liked to move from the village to the village. Move to another village - here they are there are new, newcomers. The head of the family immediately nickname and received Novak. Replaced not only because of love for traveling or in search of something new, special. Circumstances often forced: the thirty-year war, for example. It should be noted for justice that sometimes newbies in the village were visible negotia, and therefore this surname is located in third place in third place. So, if you make a mistake, calling unfamiliar Checky, do not confuse, and tell me: "Sorry, Pan Newly, confused." Newly men and women together - more than 51 thousand live in the Czech Republic. Yes, so that you do not think that the Czechs only did that they moved there, here it is necessary to mention the second reason for the widespread surname Novak. Czech shoes at one time was very popular in the Soviet Union, and the name of Tomasha Bati - the Czech shoes-businessman is known all over the world. Love of Chekhov to the domestic good comfortable shoes is transmitted from generation to generation, one can say, absorbed with mother's milk. And since ancient times, shoemakers, masters on the tailoring of the shoes, it goes without saying, - new, called Novakov.

Interestingly, if Pan Novak failed to increase, and his offspring, too,, or his degree or his heir, was already called Novachek.

If you are mistaken, contacting your new Czech friend "Pan Novak", then his name is, most likely, "Pan freedom" Beautiful surname, right? And in general, it immediately becomes clear how it originated - loved the ancestors of today's Pan of Freedom Volnoye Volyushka. But not only. It turns out that freedom freedom is dispersed. Of course, such a surname actually received people ready for freedom for everything. But the Freedom of the Freedom received free - that is, not serfs, the peasants. They did not depend on anyone, but did not possess the noble title. The exact same name was also received by those who used only one type of freedom, for example, freedom of movement. From the surname, freedom, as in the case of Novakas, have been formed similar names - flowrides, free and free. According to the 1999 census in the Czech Republic, more than 25 thousand men lived in the family of freedom and 27 thousand women in the family of freedom lived. And if you look again in the Prague telephone directory "Yellow Pages", then there you will find 30 columns with Freedom phones.

The third most common last name in the Czech Republic is surname Novotny. We mentioned the origin of this name in connection with the name Novak.

The fourth in the list of the most common names in the Czech Republic is a very famous surname that all lovers of classical music in any case know - this Dvarak (Famous Czech composer Antonin Dvarak). In the Czech Republic lives 22 thousand men and almost 24 thousand women with this surname (do not forget only that in the Czech marriage in women's childbirth, the ending -OV. Dvarak - Dvarakov). There are several versions on the origin of this surname.

The first - they could be free peasants, literally - the owners of a big yard. The second - disadvantages called people who hired to work in such big farms, "yards". The third - also called those who lived at the "courtyard" - the royal, noble castle or hail, that is, the servant of the highest and lower rank. The fourth - the Dvorak received the last name from the word "Dvizhan" - polite, educated man.

Be that as it may, the surname of the Dvorak is connected with all the layers of the feudal society. That is why today in the Czech Republic is so common last name.

Surname Chapec It does not belong to the number of the most common, but to the number of the most famous names. After all, the name of Karel Chapeca, as well as Antonina Dvoraik knows the whole world. The most common version of the origin of this surname is formed from the word "chap" - stork (in Czech), and "Chapek", therefore, a diminutive-smear of Chapa. It cannot be argued that all the ancestors of today's chapsus possessed long thin legs and, say, a long nose, resembling beaks than they were similar to small aistics, but to assume it, in any case, you can. There is another explanation. In the old days, before it was invented by each house to give a sequence number to better navigate at home painted various signs or pictures. Most often, the source of inspiration was nature. So the houses on which the stork was depicted, ("Chap") was quite a few, and they called "Aist" - in Czech "at Chapa". The owner of such a house could nose Chapac. To date, almost 7 thousand chapkov live in the Czech Republic.

The surnames formed from gloomy names, for example, Hawl, Cristof, Paul, Shimon, Vaclav, are also highly distributed. Many surnames of this type arose from the decreasing form of the name, for example, Matsek, Mateychek, Mateichk, Mateyak, Mateyo and others.

And finally, let's talk about modern Czech celebrities.

Everyone knows that the name of the singer Lucia Bilay It is a pseudonym. Her civil name is Ghana Worikov. Why did the Star of Czech stage chose the name of Bila? Maybe because the adjective "white" stood in opposition to her black hair - the inheritance of her Gypsy origin. People who wear Bila's surname probably had an unusually white leather or white hair (they could be albinos). Later, those who received it were used in their origin, or by the name of the settlement, where they lived. In the Czech Republic, we can often meet such cities and villages, like, for example, Bilin, Bilovka, the fuel, bile and so on. Due to the title of the town of Bealek, we must recall the famous Czech architect Frantisek Bileka. His surname was formed from the basis of Bil, meaning the word "white", with the help of a diminutive suffix -ke.

Familia singer Karel Gottaeveryone is associated with the German word "Gott", which means - God. Yes, probably, many fans of the Czech nightingale are considered to be God among singers. But, in fact, this surname was formed from another German word - Gote, Gotte - a surrounding child, a godfather, a godfather. So, neither the divine voice nor the surname of Gott in no way indicate unearthly origins.
