the name "Kelly" in Czech??

I have looked all over trying to figure out if there is a variation of my name "Kelly" in Czech. I'm just wondering is anyone could let me know what the name Kelly would be in Czech if there is such a thing. Thanks

 

We have no Czech equivalent. The name is not translated nor transcripted when used for foreigners.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

KELLY

Gender: Masculine & Feminine

Usage: Irish, English

Pronounced: KEL-ee [key]
It could be related to the first name CEALLACH or the surname derived from it Ó Ceallaigh. Alternatively, it might be related to a Pictish word meaning "wood" or "holly". As a surname, this name has belonged to actor and dancer Gene Kelly and actress Grace Kelly.

Would it sound pretentious to just use the Czech words for church, monastery (Irish), wood or holly (Pictish) as a name? Or would it just sound weird? The only one that comes out as feminine in my dictionary is holly - cesmína. Doesn't sound like a bad name to a native English speaker's ears, but would a Czech have to suppress a smile? :wink:

 

Cesmína is quite a strange name for Czech woman, but today it is à la mode to give children exotic names (especially celebrities do this).
Otherwise, there is a name "Lesana" derived from word "les" (a wood).

 

Anyway - cesmína in Czech is only this holly:

There are Czech names, which seem related with word "svatý" (holly - like saint), like Svatava (female) or Svatopluk (male), but in fact they originate from old Slavic world "svet", which means "powerfull".

 

"holly" is not "svatý" ("svatý" is "holy" - note the single L), "holly" is "cesmína"

 

Are there in Czech names Tvrdak nebo Tvrdakova ? Maybe they are relative with Kelly

 

Never seen

Tvrdek,

:twisted: :twisted: No, but You're such Tvrďák Doman !!!! :twisted: :twisted:

 

thanks but I had Czech name aready ! I am pan Medvedek !

 

I guess You thought "medvídek", didn't You ????

 

Ne, urcite bylo Medvedek ! Jmenuji Hung (medved), nesjem zadnej Teddy(medvidek)! Se mi moc nelibilo Teddy, Takze oni mi dali Medvedek, neni to dobre ???

 

Medvědek < Medviedek

In Czech, there was regular phonetic shift from "ie" to "í" in open syllable (I think, not exactly sure). Phonetic changes, however, do not occur regularly in proper names, otherwise, you would be today "Medvídek", i.e. "little bear". I am so sorry :lol:

 

:twisted: Grrr... I am a strong bear ! I dont wanna be that damn little Teddy ! :evil:. Should I change to Pán Medved ? Hmm.. It sounds better

 

Give up Doman! You're méďa for ever !!! :twisted: :twisted:

.... tiny skinny méďa
