obsahov

Obsahov is a Slavic surname and, less commonly, a toponym recorded in parts of Central and Eastern Europe. In contemporary usage it is most often encountered as a family name in historical or genealogical sources rather than as a widely used geographic name.

Etymology and form: The name is generally linked to the Czech and Slovak noun obsah, meaning content or substance. The suffix -ov is a common Slavic grammatical and naming element that forms possessive or patronymic adjectives. Taken together, Obsahov can be interpreted as “belonging to Obsah” or “of the content.” The diacritic-free form is commonly seen in transliterated texts and modern databases.

Usage and distribution: Obsahov is relatively uncommon and has limited documentation in standard reference works. Its appearance can reflect Czech, Slovak, Polish, or broader Russian-language influence due to the recurring -ov suffix in Slavic naming practices. Precise geographic distribution is not well defined in widely accessible sources.

Notable people: There are no widely known individuals bearing the surname Obsahov documented in major encyclopedias or biographical dictionaries.
