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.”
Petr
“Petr is the Czech form of Peter, derived from the Greek Petros meaning "stone" or "rock." The name was given by Jesus to the apostle Simon — "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church" — making it one of the foundational names of Christian Europe. In Czech culture Petr is one of the most common masculine names, present in every generation and social stratum.”
Tereza
“Tereza is the Czech and Slovak form of Teresa, a name of uncertain origin — possibly from the Greek island of Thira (Santorini) or from the Greek "therizo" meaning "to harvest," or possibly from the Latin "terra" meaning "earth." Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582), the Spanish Carmelite mystic and reformer, made this name beloved throughout the Catholic world. In Czech literature, Tereza is the central female figure in Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being."”
Katerina
“Kateřina is the Czech and Slovak form of Katherine, derived through Latin Catharina from the ancient Greek "Aikaterine," possibly from "katharos" meaning "pure." Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the fourth-century martyr of extraordinary learning who was tortured on a wheel (giving us the Catherine wheel), made this one of the most venerated names in Catholic Europe. In Czech it has been one of the most consistently popular feminine names since the medieval period.”
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.”
Zuzana
“Zuzana is the Czech, Slovak, and broader Slavic form of Susan, derived from the Hebrew "Shoshana" meaning "lily" or "rose." The name appears in the Book of Daniel (Susanna and the Elders) and in the New Testament as one of the women who supported Jesus and his disciples. It has been one of the most enduring feminine names across Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, and other Central European cultures.”
