Svolava

Svolava is a term that can refer to several things, primarily in Slavic languages. In Czech and Slovak, "svolava" is the past tense feminine singular form of the verb "svolat," which means to summon, to call together, or to convene. For instance, one might say "Svolala schůzi," meaning "She summoned a meeting."

The word can also appear as a surname in these regions. Like many Slavic surnames, it likely derives from a given name or a descriptive characteristic of an ancestor, though its exact etymology in this context may vary.

In some colloquial contexts, "svolava" might be used more broadly to describe a gathering or an assembly, even if not directly tied to the verb's grammatical form. However, its most direct and common meaning relates to the act of summoning or calling people together. It is a relatively common term within the Czech and Slovak languages and cultural sphere, appearing in both everyday conversation and written text. The precise usage often depends on the surrounding sentence structure and context.
