The bohemian surnames NEDVED /NOVOTNY
Nedved is quite known around th world because of the soccer player Pavel Nedved, one of the best players in Europe. At the moment he plays in Italy. Novotny is quite spread in USA.
I wonder if the meaning of Nedved is the same of the russian surname Medved that means "bear"

Novotny, I think, means "newcomer".
Nedved may mean "not a leader" from the Russian prefix Ned- meaning "not" and the Russian 'vad' meaning "lead" (as in leader, not the metal). But I could well be wrong on that one.
I hope this helps you :)
Pavel Nedved - very good player, very funny face :D - my sister supports Juve.
Come on England :D
