The contribution has three layers. The first one, that is not presented here, is a text “Memories of the life of Czechs who lived in Voyvodovo” written in Bulgarian by an inhabitant of the only Czech village in Bulgaria — Voyvodovo, and a neighbor of Voyvodovo Czechs, Bulgarian Božidar Popov, a son of the local Methodist pastor. The second layer — the core of the contribution — is a work of a Voyvodovo Czech and Popov’s peer Barbora Čižková. She translated Popov’s memoirs, or better to say she rather strongly interprets it and supplements it by her own commentaries and memoires. The last layer, written by the editor, is the analysis and commentary of the two preceding layers, each of them in itself and in mutual comparison. The contribution presents not only new information on history of Voyvodovo, but also a confrontation of Czech and Bulgarian views of the local Czech community.

This article deals with naming practices among the Czechs who lived in the first half of 20th century in two Bulgarian villages - Vojvodovo and Belinci. It is based on fieldwork carried out among the people who migrated in 1950 from Bulgaria and settled in several towns and villages in South Moravia (region of Mikulov and Valtice), and their descendants. Naming practices of the Bulgarian Czechs are analyzed in relation to naming strategies of the Bulgarians in the given period, and it is argued that the role that was fulfilled by surnames among the Czechs was fulfilled by first names among the Bulgarians. Relationship between the naming strategies and ideas about kinship and gender are discussed further.
