What's in a Prague street name

Zdaru was named in 1941.

‘Zdar’ translates as ‘success’ or ‘luck’. If you were to say ‘Mnoho zdaru!’ to someone, you’d be wishing them good luck.

It derives from ‘dar’, which means ‘gift’ or ‘present’. It’s also where we get ‘nazdar’, which takes third place to ‘ahoj’ and ‘čau’ in the ‘how to greet your friends’ rankings.

And the street was named to commemorate the success of those who had built it and its houses.
