What's in a Prague street name

V Náklích was built in 1927.

Until 1947, the street was called U kapličky (By the chapel), after the Chapel of St. Bartholomew on Modřanská (note to self to take a photo when I’m next there).

‘Náklí’ is young willow growth by a river, cut down annually so that it can be used to weave baskets and the like.

Josef Jungmann (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/15/prague-1-day-111-jungmannova/) also wrote about ‘nákel’, being a swampy place with low-hanging willow; it can also refer to a place by the water where rafters would stop (i.e. a wharf).

This caused this immediate area to be called Nákle, hence the street name.
