The territory of Czechia, i. e., Bohemia, Moravia and the Czech part of Silesia has always been one of those areas where the members of different nations and ethnic groups meet. This fact is also reflected in Czech toponymy, where we can designate several layers of names of foreign origin. The paper describes the history of the settlement of the Czech territory and its influence on the system of Czech toponyms and explains the origin and meaning of some Czech toponyms.
