As a surname, it likely originated as a nickname or an occupational descriptor for someone who was perceived as possessing abundance, prosperity, or perhaps a generous nature. Surnames in Central Europe often evolved from descriptive terms applied to individuals or their families.

The distribution of the surname Hojného is primarily concentrated in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, reflecting the linguistic and historical ties between these nations. Like many surnames, its presence may also be found in communities with significant Czech or Slovak diaspora, such as in the United States, Canada, and Australia, due to historical emigration patterns. The surname, while not exceptionally common, is recognizable within Czech genealogical records. Variations in spelling might exist due to transcription errors or regional dialectal differences over time, but "Hojného" remains the standard form. Its meaning directly relates to concepts of plenty, suggesting a positive or aspirational association for the family bearing it.
