Help[Surname] Re: Doubrava
in reply to a message by lizka
It's actually Czech feminine first name, too. More common version is Doubravka. And yes, it's related to oaks. But I'm not sure if it means "oak forest" only, because Doubrava is a Czech river, too. There the ending -ava is one of the most common endings of Czech river names (as in Vltava, Morava, Sázava...), thought to be related to the Celtic Avon.
