jehlová

Jehlová is a Czech feminine surname and adjectival form derived from the noun jehla, meaning needle. In Czech onomastics, many surnames formed from nouns take the feminine -ová suffix to indicate a female bearer; thus Jehlová would be the standard feminine form of a root Jehl- or Jehla- surname. The etymology commonly points to an occupational origin—such as a seamstress, needle-maker, or someone associated with needles—though the exact family origins can vary.

The surname is most prevalent in the Czech Republic and can also be found among Slovak populations and in communities of Czech descent abroad. Variants of the root form include Jehla and Jehla, depending on regional spelling and family history. As a surname, Jehlová carries no single, universal meaning beyond its linguistic origin, and individual families may attach different genealogical narratives.

There are no widely recognized individuals with the surname Jehlová documented in major reference works. The name appears in public records primarily as a family name among Czech-speaking populations.
