óty

Úty is a toponym used in Central Europe, most commonly in the Czech Republic. The name occurs as the designation of at least one municipality and village within Czech administrative boundaries, and it may appear in other localities influenced by Czech toponymy. In Czech administrative geography, places named Úty are typically rural settlements that form part of a district within a region and are governed by local councils while falling under regional authorities. Like many small municipalities, the borders and status of such localities can change over time due to administrative reforms, mergers, or name restorations.

Etymology and linguistic notes about the name are not definitively documented in widely available sources. The form likely derives from a Slavic root related to landscape features or land use, with the suffix -ty common in place-names, but precise derivations can vary by locality. The diacritic on the initial Ú reflects Czech orthography and affects pronunciation.

Geographical distribution and context: Úty is most strongly associated with the Czech Republic, though variants or coincidental spellings may appear in historical records or neighboring regions with overlapping linguistic influences. As a toponym, it is primarily of interest in studies of regional geography, local history, and municipal administration.
