What's in a Prague street name

V lučinách was built in 1925.

Until 1952, the street was part of V Zátiší (coming up), but then it was separated and became its own street. A further portion of V Zátiší was given to V lučinách in 1979.

A ‘lučina’ is a synonym for ‘louka’, i.e. a meadow.

We’ve been on this topic before, including two days after I started writing about Prague streets almost four years and 946 streets ago: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2022/11/18/prague-3-day-2-u-knezske-louky/.

While I let it sink in that I’ve almost written a thousand of these now, it’s a safe bet that, however nice your home is, it doesn’t have as spectacular statues outside it as number 9, V lučinách does.
