Ždánidla is a name of a peak in Šumava Mountains. Etymology of this name is not clear. Toponyms such as Day, Ždánice or Ždánov are derived from anthroponym Ždán. However, we do not interpret Ždánidla as a name connected with this anthroponym. According to our opinion Ždánidla could be related to old Czech verb ždáti “wait”, “expect”. Czech name Ždánidla could be also created according to the German name of this peak, i. e. Steindlberg.
