Kamenní

Kamenné is a Czech and Slovak word derived from the Slavic root kamen, meaning "stone". As an adjective it conveys the idea of being stony, made of stone, or associated with stone; in toponymy it is commonly used to name places characterized by rocky terrain, stone outcrops, historic stone buildings, or former quarries.

Several villages and municipalities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia bear the name Kamenné, either alone or as part of compound names. These settlements are typically small, rural communities with local histories tied to agriculture, forestry, or small-scale mining. The name also appears in field names, geographic features, and archaeological contexts where stone structures or megalithic remains are notable.

Beyond geography, kamenné features in cultural and commercial usage: it can describe types of construction (e.g., stone houses or bridges), be part of surnames or nicknames, and appear in business names, literature, and folk expressions that emphasize durability or hardness. The term reflects a common pattern in Slavic languages of forming place names from natural features and remains widely recognizable in Czech- and Slovak-speaking regions.
