What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.

Rodvinovská was built in 1941.

Rodvínov is a village in South Bohemia, near Jindřichův Hradec. The earliest mention that we know of is from 1319.

Rodvínov has 631 inhabitants, three red deer breeding operations, two emu farms, and a train station which no trains have stopped at since 2020.

And yes, the fact that it’s Rodvínov but Rodvinovská means that somebody forgot to add an í when the street was first named.
