Hi everyone,
I've posted to a few forums about this name, without results. Perhaps I'll be lucky, and someone here can help.
It's my grandfather's surname, and it seems he was a Czech man who married an Austrian woman. I understand this word is a verb meaning "did not believe". It's apparently a common name in the Olomouc region, yet I cannot find much information about it. I have two primary questions:
1. Is this surname of Czech origin, or from somewhere else?
2. What is the background of this name? Why would someone be named a nonbeliever?
Thanks in advance,
Kaitlin
