What's in a Prague street name

Horní was built in 1925. The street sign pic is temporarily stolen from Prague 4’s website, because I can’t find the one I took.

Readers of yesterday’s post (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/03/16/prague-4-day-48-dolni/) may not be too surprised to know that ‘lower’ is followed by ‘upper’ when it isn’t followed by ‘lowest’.

Or, therefore, that the ‘horní komora’ or ‘horní sněmovna’ is the House of Lords (if you’re talking about Britain) or the Senate (if you’re talking about the US).

This three-parter ends tomorrow. Apparently, you can get upper than upper.
