Eckého

Eckého is a Czech grammatical form that appears as the genitive singular of the surname Ecký when used in possessive or associative expressions. In this role, Eckého helps link a noun to a person named Eck, similar to how English uses “Eck’s” in phrases like “the Ecký’s book.”

Etymology and function: The form arises from the combination of a German-derived surname Ecký with the Czech possessive and declension patterns. The ending -ého marks genitive singular and is used to indicate possession or association with Ecký in the surrounding noun phrase. As a result, Eckého functions as a marker inside noun phrases rather than as an independent lexical item.

Usage and examples: In standard Czech, Eckého appears in phrases such as “kniha Eckého” (the book of Eck) or “rod Eckého” (the Eck family). In these constructions, Eckého attaches to the proper name Ecký to express ownership or affiliation and precedes the head noun that is in its own case. The form is typically restricted to masculine singular contexts and to situations where the surname Ecký occupies the role of a possessor or related figure.

Notes: Eckého is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It illustrates how Czech declines proper names when used possessively and how adjectives or surname-derived forms participate in noun phrases. For broader context, see entries on Eck (surname), Ecký, and Czech grammar.
