pocítil

Pocítil is a surname of Czech origin. The name is believed to be derived from the root pociť- associated with feeling or perception, linked to the Czech verb pociťovat (to feel) or the noun pocit (feeling). The masculine form is Pocítil, while the feminine form is Pocítilová, reflecting common Czech patterns of gendered surnames.

The surname is primarily found in the Czech Republic and may also appear in neighboring Slovakia and among Czech diaspora communities abroad. Like many Czech surnames that originate from a linguistic root, Pocítil is typically passed patrilineally and adapted to gender in form when used with female bearers.

There are no widely documented international figures specifically associated with the surname in common reference works. In regional and genealogical records, Pocítil can be encountered in variations with or without diacritics, such as Pocítíl in older transcriptions, depending on historical spelling practices.
