I would like to know the meaning of the surname Nový. I believe the surname is Czech, however I only say this because the actor Oldrich Nový was from Prague.
Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

It means "new." It's referenced here to explain the origins of a few Czech surnames (Novak, etc):

You can also just do a search for the word 'novy' here, to get a broad idea of its usage (I assume it's accurate as I don't know Czech):
