What's in a Prague street name

Na Květnici was built in 1925.

‘Květnice’ is a now-obsolete word used to denote a flower garden. There’s a settlement in Prague East called this, complete with a castle with the same name.

It also seems that there was a local settlement with the name here in Nusle.

Na Květnici is the present-day location for the Nusle Sokol (see https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/08/26/prague-2-day-114-sokolska/). It initially moved there in 1925, but more on that tomorrow.
