What's in a Prague street name

Procházkova was built in 1933.

The street is believed to be named after a soldier called Josef Procházka, killed during World War One.

However, at least ten men with that name died during battle, and so it’s not possible to get more specific.

This means it was not named after the composer and pianist Josef Procházka (1874-1956), even though he regularly accompanied the string quartet that we discussed yesterday (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/06/29/prague-4-day-131-hoffmannova/).

This is not the only street round here named after a victim of World War One; see https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/06/23/prague-4-day-125-doudova/.
