Malých

Malých is a Czech surname. It is derived from the Czech word "malý," meaning "small." This surname is relatively common in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Like many surnames, it likely originated as a descriptive nickname for someone of short stature, or perhaps as an indication of a younger sibling. Over time, such nicknames became hereditary family names. The pronunciation of "malých" in Czech involves a specific inflection, with the accent typically falling on the first syllable. While the literal translation is "small," the surname's usage as an identifier does not necessarily imply anything about the physical characteristics of individuals who bear it today. It is a part of the Czech onomastic tradition, reflecting historical naming practices.
