Hejčín
Czech
Etymology
From personal name Hajka + possessive suffix -ín, meaning "Hajka's property".[1] The name Hajka is related to háj (“grove”).[2]
The name of the village was first recorded in 1078 as Gaychin, all later forms are written with H, for example Haychin (1275), Haječín (1437) or Hagczin (1517). The first vowel "a" changed later into "e", which was first recorded in 1595 (Heyčzyn). Current spelling Hejčín was first recorded in 1872.[2]
Hejčín belongs to the group of toponyms in the close surrounding of Olomouc suffixed with -ín[1] (most of which are nowadays parts of Olomouc), compare Břuchotín, Droždín, Hněvotín, Neředín, Řepčín, Slavonín or Třebčín.
