etzové

Etzová is a feminine surname form found in Czech and Slovak onomastics. It represents the feminine variant of a masculine family name and follows the common Slavic pattern of adding the suffix -ová to indicate a female bearer. The exact masculine base behind etzová can vary; it would typically derive from a masculine surname such as Etz or Etza, or from a root name incorporated into a family name. Because of this, etzová generally appears as a surname for women, while men in the same family would be listed with the masculine form (for example, Etz rather than Etzová).

In contemporary practice, Czech and Slovak naming conventions treat the -ová suffix as a grammatical feminine marker rather than a distinct surname. When recording names in official documents, a woman's surname would appear as first name followed by etzová, while a man's surname would appear without the suffix. The origin and distribution of etzová are not tied to a widely documented clan or lineage in public records.
