Nela
“Nela is a Slavic feminine name used primarily in Croatian, Czech, and Slovak as a diminutive of Antonela or Antonie. In Czech and Slovak culture it has become an independent given name, derived ultimately from Antonius, meaning "priceless" or "of inestimable worth." It is also used in German-speaking countries as a short form of Cornelia.”
Barbora
“Barbora is the Czech and Slovak feminine form of Barbara, derived from the Greek barbaros meaning "foreign" or "strange." The name became widespread in Slavic lands through the cult of Saint Barbara, a third-century martyr venerated as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Saint Barbara's feast day (December 4) is still celebrated in Czech and Slovak tradition with cherry branches forced to bloom indoors.”
Bohumil
“Bohumil is a Czech and Slovak masculine given name of Slavic origin, composed of the elements boh (God) and mil (dear, gracious, beloved). It means "dear to God" or "beloved by God." Its feminine equivalent is Bohumila. The name is specifically Czech and Slovak in character, though related forms like the Polish Bogumił exist in other Slavic languages.”
Zdenek
“Zdeněk is a Czech masculine given name, most commonly explained as derived from the Latin Sidonius, meaning "man from Sidon" (a Phoenician city in modern Lebanon). An alternative etymology derives it as a diminutive form of Zdeslav, a Slavic dithematic name. It is an exclusively Czech name with no equivalent in other Slavic languages, giving characters who bear it an unmistakably Bohemian identity.”
Alzbeta
“Alžbeta is the Czech and Slovak form of Elizabeth, derived from the Hebrew "Elisheva" meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance." In the New Testament, Elizabeth (Alžbeta) is the mother of John the Baptist and the kinswoman of the Virgin Mary who exclaims "Blessed are you among women." Saint Elizabeth of Hungary (1207–1231), born into the Hungarian royal family and famous for her works of charity, gave the name particular resonance in Central Europe.”
Petra
“Petra is the feminine form of Peter, derived from the ancient Greek "Petros" meaning "rock" or "stone" — itself a translation of the Aramaic "Cephas," the name given by Jesus to his apostle Simon. The feminine form is used across Czech, Slovak, German, Dutch, and other European cultures. In Czech and Slovak it has been one of the most popular feminine names since the 1960s and is associated with a generation of dynamic, independent women.”
