Ve studeném was built in 1935.


‘Studený’ means ‘cold’. Is it colder than elsewhere round here? I didn’t particularly notice.
The other option – which I’ve not been able to prove, as that would involve having read 21 novels and ten plays on a working day – is that there’s something ‘studený’-tangential in one of the works by Alois Jirásek.
This would make a lot of sense, as every other street round here seems to be named after something or someone in his works.
Part of Na Studeném became part of Vrbova (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/12/02/prague-4-day-247-vrbova/) in 1973.
For language fans, ‘studeni’ is November if you’re Croatian. For fans of falling leaves, ‘listopad’ is October in Croatian, but November in Czech.
In which case, why not enjoy a November story *and* a case where I was certain what the street was named after: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/10/23/prague-1-day-212-17-listopadu/.
