Vývoj místního jména Česká Lípa

Much attention has not been given to the name of the city Česká Lípa. As the first reliable source, the predicate “Chenco de Lipa” from 1277 must be considered. From the beginnings, the name Lipa in various transcriptions is used practically in all Latin sources for the castle and then the town. New townspeople probably adapt the old name of the village to Czech due to the population of locators and settlers from Zittau. So that the original Czech “Lipa” changed to “Leipa” over the German vernacular form of the name. The name of the city with attribute “Česká” first appeared in 1568 on the map of Meissen and Bartolomeo’s Sculteta Lusatia called “Bem. Leipe”. Up to the 20th century, the name “Böhmisch Leipa” or just “Leipa” was used. Despite numerous efforts to change the name, none of the proposals of the City Council (1883 Leipa, 1910 Deutsch Leipa, 1938–1939 Leipa an der Polzen) were approved. So “Böhmisch Leipa” became permanently Česká Lípa after the end of the Second World War.

This study deals with names of townsmen of Česká Lípa, which are enrolled in the oldest preserved town book in the years 1461–1722. The interpretation of the names is very difficult. In this town book we can find 1 475 records, out of which 1 312 records deal with granting of towns law. Around 1 378 people are included among townsmen. The precise number of townsmen is not easy to determine. We can find a lot of male names – the most favourite name was Hans – and a lot of female names – the name Anna is most favourite. Surnames were not fixed in the Middle Ages or in the Modern Times. We cannot ascertain the ethnicity of the townsmen. It is impossible, because scribes wrote into the town book at their discretion.
