I've seen 'ajs' and 'u' added at the end of someone's name sometimes, can anyone tell me what this means?
Give example please. Maybe 'Červinka' -> 'Červajs' ..... That's garble of name used in colloquial Czech. It may sound pejorative. I suppose 'u' is 'ů'. That's genitive suffix. Genitive without preposition corresponds to question 'Whose?'. Maybe English suffix -'s is equivalent. e.g. Pepík Novák -> Pepík Nováků = that Pepík, who is member of Novak family Same official names (mostly family names derived from forenames) originated in this way, e.g. Bohuslav Martinů (Czech componist).
