The paper deals with the names of current Czech railway stations and stops. From the List of Stations and Stops, which is part of the currently valid Czech Timetable 2024, all stations and stops located on the territory of the Czech Republic were excerpted. In these names, six parts were identified: the base of the municipality name (Veselí), specifying prepositional phrase (nad Moravou ‘upon the (river) Morava’), a hyphen or a space, separating the base and the prepositional phrase from the so-called distinctive part (-Milokošť), which consists of a primary distinction that can be complemented by the specifying prepositional phrase (Pardubice-Rosice nad Labem) and possibly also by a secondary distinction (Praha-Holešovice zastávka). Not all names necessarily consist of all parts; a name can consist just of the base or of the base and a specifying prepositional phrase. The paper deals with the length of these names measured by the number of characters (including spaces) in all these parts, in base + specifying prepositional phrase, distinctive part and in the complete names. Individual sections on the whole names and on each of their parts consequently present the average number of characters and the lowest and highest number of characters. Besides purely descriptive purposes, the data also have a practical, applied purpose. They can serve as a basis for typographical standardization of the currently inconsistent presentation of names on signs and in information systems at stations and stops.

The goal of the paper is to thoroughly map the current names of Czech railway stations and stops with the so-called distinguishing part. These names consist of a part for place name (e.g., Praha), which refers to the municipality where the station or stop lies or is intended to serve for, and, in such cases, of the so-called distinguishing part (e.g., Praha-Vršovice, Loučovice zastávka). The paper first describes these names from the perspective of part for place name (Section 2) and then from the perspective of the distinguishing part (Section 3). Against this background, it points out some inconsistencies in the set of current names (Section 4). The description aims at the current state, and the main text only works with the names of stations and stops included in the Alphabetical list of the station and stops from the 2024 Czech railway timetable, but brief historical excursions into the names are made in the footnotes with this starting point.
