Slavic names and name elements are used in Czechoslovakia as well as in the former Yugoslavic countries.:-)

The element is used in Czechoslovakia but not the name. (I am from Czech Republic, so I ought to know.)

Lol, fair enough!My grandfather (Paul) grew up in & near Prague so I have a Czech connection too, although he doesn't remember much Czech now - his parents were from Sudetenland and spoke German, and then he was evacuated to England via the Kindertransport when he was 14 anyway.:-)
