Etymology of Novacek

What does the name Novacek mean?

The name Novacek is a nickname surname, formed from the Czech "novy," which means 'new'.

Ironically it was also used for a maker of new shoes (not for a repairer of shoes). Novak is the most popular Czech name; and Novotny is the third most common. As the name translates as "newman' some people have Anglicized their name accordingly. The feminine form of the name is Nováková.
