The name is derived from the Czech ethnonym Čech meaning ‘Czech’ (also in a narrower sense ‘from Bohemia’) and refers to a similarity to or a connection with the people or the area they inhabit (as a distinction from other peoples or ethnic groups or for a person who came to Moravia from Bohemia). |
