What's in a Prague street name

Žalmanova was built in 1969.

First of all, your almost-daily reminder that we’re in Jiráskovo čtvrť (see https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/01/prague-2-day-154-jiraskovo-namesti/).

Second of all, your reminder that Jirásek wrote a novel called F.L. Věk (see https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/12/02/prague-4-day-247-vrbova/).

Žalman is a character in said novel; he’s an old man and closet Protestant, whose tales of hardship and persecution have a major effect on the above-mentioned Mr Věk.
