It means "cream" in Czech. It is also related to the German word "Schmetterling" (butterfly), as this insect is said to go for cream (I've never seen a butterfly lick cream, though). In the south (east) of Germany you will find "Schmetten" (cream) as a dialect word. I think the word (and the name) found its way to Germany through the Sorbs.
