The paper analyses interpretations of place names on the official websites of Czech municipalities. Not only folk etymology, but also quoting official scientific etymologies is investigated. Relationships between the individual interpretations of a toponym are examined. Interpretations on websites often depart directly from folk etymologies, sometimes borrowed from municipal chronicles. On the other hand, some websites present official scientific interpretations or they even refer to authorities in the field of linguistics. The scientific interpretation is often compared to the folk one, often stating which one is considered to be more probable. However, folk etymologies are sometimes preferred to scientific interpretations. Folk interpretations may be based on important factual knowledge, for example awareness of the older form of the toponym, but this does not assure the correctness of the interpretation.

The article investigates how the political changes (namely the suppression of the individual ownership of land) and the subsequent changes of the landscape influenced the change of the “namescape” in rural localities in the Czech Republic. The analysed data come from the survey of non-settlement names from the territory of Bohemia, organized in the years 1963–1980. In many localities, the new tracts of land came into existence no sooner than in this period, therefore this survey enables us to trace their names in statu nascendi, in the course of their being formed. The names of the newly created tracts of land often had many variants, they were not regularly used, and generally they displayed many traits of instability. The situation strongly differed from one locality to another. In some villages no large tracts of land could come into existence due to hard terrain conditions. In some localities, all the names of the new tracts of land are formed by adoption of the original field names without any changes.

Článek se zabývá vlivem politických změn (konkrétně potlačením individuálního vlastnictví půdy) a následných proměn krajiny na pomístní jména v českých venkovských lokalitách. Analyzovaný materiál pochází ze soupisů pomístních jmen z území Čech z let 1963–1980. V mnoha obcích vznikaly nové hony až v tomto období, díky soupisům proto může sledovat jejich jména in statu nascendi, v okamžiku jejich vzniku. Jména nově vytvořených honů často měla mnoho variant, nebyla užívána pravidelně a celkově byla velmi nestabilní. Situace se velmi lišila lokalitu od lokality. V některých obcích rozlehlé hony nemohly vzniknout kvůli obtížným terénním podmínkám. V některých lokalitách vznikla všechna pojmenování honů převzetím původních názvů polí bez jakýchkoli změn.

The article analyses the official changes of the names of municipalities and their parts in the years 1996-2017. 59 changes were recorded; an absolute majority of these changes involve minor formal alterations of the existing names, consisting of minor phonological changes (mostly changes in the vowel quantity), adding a distinctive attribute (or its deletion), etc. Most of the changes, which are made without any opinion of onomasticians or other linguists, are unproblematic from the onomastic point of view. However, some of them (mostly those based on a folk etymology of the name) are disputable, or even entirely unsuitable. Special attention is paid to an exceptional case of changing the place name Táborská to Vlastislav. This is the only case of a change of an oikonym to a form that has no relationship to the original name. Before 2016, the toponym Táborská belonged to a part of the municipality of Hazlov in the westernmost part of Bohemia. This locality (originally Seichenreuth) obtained its Czech name after the World War II, when a majority of the original German names were changed after the displacement of German inhabitants from Sudetenland. In the late 1940s, the local representatives tried to enforce the name Vlastislav for the given village; the motivation of this name was political: it was to express relations to the homeland - "vlast". This name was not approved by the toponymical committee, and the village finally got a new name Táborská in 1961. However, the name Vlastislav was not forgotten in the locality: in 2016, the local authority decided to rename Táborská to Vlastislav and this change came into effect immediately.

The article points out the most striking problems of the Czech codification of capitalisation in toponyms in which disagreement with onomastic theory is displayed. The first part of the paper focuses on capitalisation in prepositional toponyms, mostly street names. According to the new codification, valid since 1993, in prepositional toponyms the word following the preposition should be always written with a capital letter. This rule has not been respected by some local authorities (including the Prague municipal authority) or by the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre. The second part, forming the core of the paper, argues against the theory of the so-called generic and proper-name component of a naming unit which is used for explaining the principles of codification of proper names’ capitalisation. According to the author, this theory is in contradiction with onomastic principles. The last (and shortest) part deals with capitalisation in toponyms containing two subsequent adjectives. The character of the paper is polemical; it points at the inconsistency of the current codification of proper names’ capitalisation in Czech, as well as recent treatises on this topic. The aim of the paper is not to provoke an instant and impetuous codification change, but to stimulate a discussion on this topic.
