Jana
“Jana is a feminine given name used across Czech, Slovak, Polish, Serbian, Croatian, and Slovenian cultures as the feminine form of Jan (John), derived from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning "God is gracious." In Czech and Slovak, Jana is one of the most common feminine names, carrying the same warm familiarity as Jane or Joan in English.”
Vit
“Vít is a Czech masculine given name derived from the Latin Vitus, from vita meaning "life." Saint Vitus was a Sicilian martyr of the early fourth century whose cult became enormously popular in Bohemia — Prague's great gothic cathedral, St. Vitus Cathedral, is named after him, making the name deeply embedded in Czech national identity.”
Martina
“Martina is the feminine form of Martin, derived from the Latin Martinus, a diminutive of Mars, the Roman god of war. The name became widespread through Saint Martin of Tours (316–397), one of the most popular saints of medieval Europe, whose feast day on November 11 is still widely celebrated. Martina is common in Czech, Slovak, Italian, Spanish, and other European cultures.”
Vlastimil
“Vlastimil is a Czech masculine given name of Slavic origin, composed of the elements vlast meaning "homeland," "native land," or "property" and mil meaning "gracious," "dear," or "beloved." Thus the name means "one who loves his homeland" or "dear to the fatherland." It is a specifically Czech name, rarely found outside Bohemia and Moravia.”
Vaclav
“Václav is a Czech and Slovak masculine name of Slavic origin, from the Old Slavic "Veceslav," composed of "vece" meaning "more" or "greater" and "slava" meaning "glory" — thus "more glorious" or "gaining glory." Saint Václav (Good King Wenceslas, c. 907–935), the Duke of Bohemia martyred by his brother Boleslav, is the patron saint of Bohemia and the Czech state. His image on the horseback statue in Prague's Wenceslas Square has made him the enduring symbol of Czech national identity.”
