Willebrandova

Willebrandova is a street name found in the Czech Republic. In Czech toponymy, streets named after people are often formed from a surname by adding the feminine suffix -ova, producing Willebrandova, literally indicating “Willebrand’s street.” The form is used in several municipalities, with the exact location varying from place to place.

The surname Willebrand is of Germanic origin. In medical history, the name is associated with the physician Erik Adolf von Willebrand and with Willebrand disease as well as the von Willebrand factor. However, the use of Willebrandova as a street name does not imply a direct link to the physician or his work; it reflects a broader practice of commemorating individuals by surname in local street naming.

Because Willebrandova appears in more than one town, there is no single central Willebrandova street. Each municipality assigns the name to a street within its own layout, and the surrounding landmarks differ accordingly. The name is part of the larger Czech toponymic tradition of adopting personal names for streets to honor historical figures, local contributors, or notable families.
