Ledgerových

ledgerových is a Czech grammatical form that functions as the genitive plural of a feminine surname Ledgerová. It is not a separate lexeme in itself, but the inflected form used when referring to the Ledgerová family as a group or when indicating possession by that family. In Czech, surnames ending in -ová are feminine; their genitive plural typically ends in -ových, which is used to denote “of the … family” or “the … family” as a whole.

The form is most commonly seen in genealogical, historical, or descriptive contexts. When naming a house, street, or property associated with the family, one frequently encounters phrases such as Dům Ledgerových or Zámek Ledgerových, meaning “the Ledgerová family house” or “the Ledgerová family estate.” In a sentence about lineage or history, one might speak of historie rodu Ledgerových, i.e., the history of the Ledgerová family.

Etymologically, ledgerová/ledgerové follows the standard Czech pattern for feminine surnames: the base is Ledgerová, and Ledgerových is the genitive plural form used with nouns in the genitive to indicate possession or association. The capitalization of Ledgerových is typical when it refers to a specific family name; when discussed as a linguistic form without reference to a particular family, it may appear in lowercase.
