The Czechs (Czech: Češi , pronounced [ˈtʃɛʃɪ]; singular masculine: Čech [ˈtʃɛx], singular feminine: Češka [ˈtʃɛʃka]), or the Czech people (Český lid), are a West Slavic ethnic group and a nation native to the Czech Republic in Central Europe, who share a common ancestry, culture, history, and Czech language.
The use of middle names or patronymics isn’t practiced in the Czech Republic. Most forms only have sections for first and last names , so for paperwork purposes, the advice is usually to include the middle name in the first name section, or to exclude it altogether.
The most common Czech surnames are Novák (“Newman”), Svoboda (“Freeman,” literally “Freedom”), Novotný (same origin as Novák) , Dvořák (from dvůr, “court”) and Černý (“Black”).
Slavonic origin, Czech and Slavic use: It is derived literally from the word mila which is of the meaning ‘pleasant, dear’. Mila is also a contracted form ( Czech and Slavic) of the Czech and Russian Miloslava.
It means little mouse in Czech as well. Standard mouse is mys and myska ( mishka ) is little mouse. Misa (pronounced Misha) is also used as a short nickname for those named Michael or Michaela. Misa also mean little bear.
