Názvami

Názvami is the instrumental plural form of the Czech noun název, which means name, title, or designation. It is used when referring to several titles or labels that identify a person, work, or object.

In Czech grammar, název appears in several cases and numbers. The instrumental plural form názvami is used after prepositions or verbs that require the instrumental case, such as v, pod, s, or označovat in constructions that express designation by titles. For example, one might say “pod různými názvami” to indicate that something is known under various titles, or “díla označovaná různými názvy” to point to alternate designations of works.

Usage and nuances. Názvami typically denotes the plural set of titles or names by which something is identified in different contexts, languages, or editions. It is common in bibliographic, cataloging, and media discussions to list or compare several possible titles for the same work. The form is distinct from its singular counterpart název and from other related terms such as název, titul, or označení.

Notes. As with other Czech morphosyntactic forms, exact usage can depend on regional or stylistic choices, but názvami is the standard instrumental plural used to express designation by titles in plural.
