What's in a Prague street name

Mikuleckého  was built in 1973.

The Pražský uličník tells me that we’re staying with Alois Jirásek’s 1915 novel Temno (Darkness), first discussed yesterday (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/12/03/prague-4-day-248-machovcova/).

It also tells me that the novel had a character called Jakub Mikulecký. However, the long summary I read yesterday (full disclosure: I haven’t read Temno) doesn’t mention anyone called either Jakub or Mikulecký.

The internet is not helping either, and the only reference I can find is to a Jakub is on page 74 of a 1916 edition available on the Czech Digital Library. Without surname.

Hmm.

To make up for this, here’s a pic of Kobra Prague Winter Stadium, located on this street. It was opened in 1977; Okbra play in the country’s second ice hockey division.
