The article deals with the possible origin of the names of the springs Hladová voda (Hungry Water) and Hladová studánka (Hungry Well), of which there are at least ten in the Czech Republic. Most sources state that the name comes from the fact that people felt hungry after drinking water from the spring. All the springs located are presented in the article, their chemical composition is described and this is compared with balneological findings on the effects of water on health. At the same time, other meanings of this name are also given, whether they are hydronyms (abroad) or general descriptions of the properties of water. In conclusion, a hypothesis is put forward that the origin of the name is not derived from the special chemistry and specific effect of the water, but arose because hungry farmers or foresters tried to stave off hunger by drinking water from these springs while in the field, but this did not help; on the contrary, it may have made them feel even hungrier.

The Geographical Names Commission was established at the beginning of the 1930s. It was an advisory board of the Military Geographical Institute which was responsible for the creation of maps in Czechoslovakia between the two world wars. The documents showing the activities of this commission are archived at the secretariat of the current Geographical Names Commission working at the State Administration of Land Surveying and Cadastre in Prague. The commission working in the 1930s was responsible for the correct linguistic form of geographical names (minor place names) used in the maps of Czechoslovakia. This article analyses the standardization of several problematic names (Velička/Velečka, Vsacká/Vsetínská Bečva, Ždánský/ Ždánický les, Hloučela/Hlučela, Olše/Olza, Olšava/Olsava, Vlára/Vlář) on the basis of historical documents. It describes the principles used in this process and compares the forms standardised in the 1930s with the names in the maps and in the usage in the regions today.

The aim of this study is to present the motivational, structural and name-forming analysis of one part of the Czech hydronymy localized in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The list of the hydronyms consists of 817 names and includes standardized names as well as names suitable for standardization. The names of streams and rivers, and the names of water bodies (dams, ponds, etc.) are analysed separately because they are of different characters which was actually confirmed by the analysis. The names of streams and rivers were most often motivated by the localization of the naming objects, and the names of water bodies we motivated by the nature of these objects.

In reviewing of glassmaking history in Lusatian mountains there is necessary to study thoroughly not only the archive records, which are scarse for the medieval and early modern ages, but also the old regional literature of homeland. There can be found some toponyms, hydronyms and oronyms which concern the history of glassworks. For the same reason there are pursued the card-register sources too. From written and card-index quotations there were excerped many datas which refer to extinct glassworks in the traced territory. They aided to localize some places of obsolete glass activities and the found relicts confirmed their existence. The accompanying deposits of customary ceramics helped to state the approximate operation period of these glassworks. The begin of glass undertaking in this part of North Bohemia has been shifted to the half of the 13th century. More often the toponyms were applied, less often the hydronyms. They cover the parts of previous Děčín and Česká Lípa districts, that is the region of Lusatian mountains and in the west direction the Děčín highlands.
