What's in a Prague street name

U strže was built before 1925 (i.e. today is a brief interlude from the artistically-minded streets built in 1962 or 1965).

Until 1945, the street was called ‘Rovinná’ due to its location in a plain (rovina).

A ‘strž’ is a ravine, and I’m going to point you to the much longer and much better-known Na strži: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/05/26/prague-4-day-102-na-strzi/.

Anyone wondering how big Prague 4 is may do well to notice that that post is almost a year old, is already day 102, and that (even accounting for a few breaks in that time), we’re not nearly done yet.
