The word "Czech" traces back to the Polish term "Czech," which referred to the Slavic people of Bohemia. Its deeper root lies in Proto-Slavic *čelověkъ, meaning "person" or "human." Over time, the term became ethnonymic, narrowing to denote the West Slavic group now associated with the Czech Republic. The spelling "Czech" (with "cz") reflects Polish influence, while the modern Czech language uses "Čech" for self-designation.
