uhlová

Uhlová is a name element found in Czech and Slovak onomastics. It is most commonly encountered as a feminine form used in surnames and, less frequently, as a component of place names. In these languages, the suffix -ová is routinely added to masculine or uninflected surname bases to form the standard feminine version, so Uhlová would typically indicate a female member of a family with a corresponding masculine form such as Uhl.

As a surname, Uhlová follows the general pattern of Czech and Slovak feminine surname formation, where many family names have gendered variants. The masculine counterpart could be Uhl or a related form, with Uhlová serving as the female form within the same family line. The name, like many toponymic and patronymic surnames, may reflect historical associations with a person, occupation, or locality, though specific origins can vary by region and lineage.

Uhlová may also appear as part of a place name or as a component in toponymy, where the suffix -ová often marks a locality linked to a family or notable feature. The exact meaning and origin of a given Uhlová in a geographical context typically require local historical records to establish.

Because Uhlová is primarily a name form rather than a standalone common noun, its significance rests in historical and genealogical contexts. See also Uhl (surname) and related toponyms for broader naming patterns in the region.
