The paper deals with the territorial spread of prothetic v- as a specific phonetic phenomenon of Czech. The analysis is focused on the old oikonyms excerpted from toponomaitic lexicons in the manner of S. Utěšený. The research shows that 1) the inspected oikonyms (or generally onyms) are more benevolent to the prothetic v- than common nouns; 2) nonetymological v- is common in oikonyms from historical Bohemia and western Moravia since the second half of the 16th century, other regions (southern Bohemia, majority of Moravia and Silesia) conserve oikonymic forms without v-; 3) oikonyms have some specifics, e.g. lexicalization of prothetic v- or hypercorrection (elimination of etymological v-) more frequently than appellatives.
