Czech female names come from the Czech language, a West Slavic language that uses diacritics such as á, é, í, š, č, ř, and ž. Most feminine given names end in -a, and many have productive diminutive forms with -ka, -uška, or -ička that may function as independent names (for example Anička, Libuška). Feminine counterparts of masculine names are formed with feminine morphology, commonly -a, as in Františka (from František), Jindřiška (from Jindřich), and Bohumíra (from Bohumír).

Modern usage favors established Czech and Slavic forms and saint-derived names. Common examples include Eliška, Adéla, Barbora, Karolína, Hana, Iveta, Františka, Jindřiška, Libuška, and Bohumíra.
