Sona
“Sona is a feminine name used across Armenian, Slovak, Czech, and Indian cultures. In Armenian it means "golden" or "of gold" from the word son/sona. In Slovak it is a diminutive form of Soňa (the Slovak equivalent of Sonya), itself a Russian diminutive of Sofia meaning "wisdom." The name's dual heritage gives it warmth across multiple cultural contexts.”
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.”
Ondrej
“Ondřej is the Czech and Slovak form of Andrew, derived from the ancient Greek "Andreas" from "andros" meaning "man." Saint Andrew the Apostle, who according to tradition was crucified on an X-shaped cross (the saltire), is venerated as patron of Scotland, Russia, and Romania. In Czech and Slovak lands, Ondřej is the standard form of this apostolic name and has been used since the Christianization of Bohemia.”
Radim
“Radim is a Czech and Slavic masculine given name derived from Proto-Slavic elements rad meaning "care," "joy," or "glad" and mir meaning "peace," "world," or "fame." The name thus means "joyful peace" or "glad world." It is specifically Czech and is associated with Saint Radim (Gaudencius), the first Archbishop of Gniezno and brother of Saint Adalbert of Prague.”
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.”
