Czech name

A Czech name is a name that comes from the country called Czechia. It's like a special nickname that people use to call each other.

Just like you have a name, people in Czechia also have names. But some of their names might sound different than names you know. For example, instead of names like John or Emily, they might have names like Petr or Lenka.

People in Czechia also have last names, which is a special family name that is passed down from parents to their children. Sometimes last names can be long and hard to say, like Novák or Kovářová.

Last names in Czechia also have a special system based on gender. If a person is a girl, their last name will often end in "ová" instead of just "ov". This helps people know if the person is a boy or a girl just by looking at their last name.

So, a Czech name is a special way that people in Czechia refer to each other, and it includes both first names and last names that might sound different than what you're used to.
