rozputné

Rozputný is a surname of Czech origin. In diacritics it is Rozputný; in non-diacritic contexts it may appear as Rozputny. The name is most commonly found in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and has also spread to other countries through migration and diaspora.

The precise root is uncertain. It may derive from the Czech adjective rozpustný meaning "promiscuous" or "dissolute," historically used as a nickname for a lively or impulsive person, or it may originate from a place name or a nickname with a different root. The form Rozputný is typical for masculine surnames; feminine forms would usually be Rozputná.

The surname appears in civil and parish records in the Czech lands from early modern times. It belongs to a group of surnames formed from nicknames or adjectives, which became inherited family names across generations.
