Podle

Podle is a term that can refer to several distinct uses in Slavic-language contexts. In Czech, the preposition podlé means “according to” and is used to attribute information to a source, authority, or document. It is common in formal writing, journalism, and legal contexts.

Podle can also function as a surname in some Slavic-speaking communities. As a family name, it remains relatively uncommon and is typically documented in regional records rather than in widespread biographical directories.

In geography, Podle may appear as part of place-name formations within the Slavic-speaking world. There is no widely recognized city or town named Podle in major geographical reference works, but the sequence can occur as a component of longer names or as a historical designation in local records.
